April is Poetry Month! What Inspires You?

I’ve been travelling through Arizona, Nevada, and Utah over the last month and it’s been quite the experience. I’ve met many new people, seen new places, and even visited some old stomping grounds.

It’s difficult to capture the stunning capacity of Zion or Snow Canyon in pictures or in words. Today I’ll share a poem that was inspired by the beauty of mountains. I hope you like it.

Mountains

Stories in layers
     granite
          basalt
               sandstone
Placed upon each other
     stacked
          pressed
               immortalized
Constantly saving secrets
     eroding
          listening
               watching
mountains
     a picture of time.
