The Sound of the Canyon

By Andrew R. Duckworth

From the top of the canyon
A few strums of the guitar
Produces a sound that echoes
Across time and space
Straight to the soul,
Just the wind and a few
Simple notes, broken chords,
Quiet, the sun revealing
Nature’s majesty.
And the warmth of it all
Sends a chill down the spine
That I could have ignored
The landscape for so long
To see it in a whole new light,
A beautiful view.
