    At the end of the road in Zion National Park, there is a place called the Temple of Sinawava, a natural amphitheater nearly 3,000 feet deep. From this shaded, still and beautiful valley, the traveler may enter the Zion Narrows, a channel in the rock cliffs hollowed out by the Virgin River. If you don't mind wading, you can follow the channel upstream. From time to time, rocks fall from the cliff face into the water with a satisfying resonance.

    splendid giants rise

    streaked with desert varnish


    ancient blood
    leaching from hearts of stone
    a long forgotten offense
    unatoned
    anchors souls here
    sequestered in the rock
    weeping for past lives
    for the joys of running in the sun

    water cascades over rocks
    gossamer spirits play in the mist
    the air is electric with a desire
    to dance
    the white Datura glisten
    whispering of dreams in this place
    where mortality touches perpetuity
    with a lovers pinch
    a thundersplash announces
    the anonymous stone breaking free
    burying itself at last in the bosom of water
    freedom, redemption
    a plunge into the cold nothingness
    between what is and what has been
    though its parting cry becomes inaudible
    and the ripples of its passage fade
    it remains a part of the river bed
    washing slowly downstream
    in a journey we do not know how to follow
    AT THE TEMPLE OF SINAWAVA ON THE VIRGIN RIVER
