Echoes of the canyons

Ronald Tirino 1962 (NYC)

Echoes of the canyons

stars drift across the timeless skies
deep contemplating silence
traveling moons in breathless breath
 
Waking knowledge of the universe
I will never know
echoes the stillness of the soul
 
To the fields beyond the gates
of minds yet to come
 
The light tempered by a shadowed moon
reflected on the canyon walls
dissolve against the liquid moon
 
Reflecting from ancient shores
carved by timeless winds
tanslucently awake to our presence
 
amidst the changing change
