Fish river canyon

A starred iris across a lidless sky,

Drawing in to lay upon a dusky bed of dying crimson and amber,

Warmth of gold hangs effortlessly on a scene of towering walls and petrified woods,

The dance and sing, of a mighty river ring,

I cup the orb within palms wrought raw and harrowed ebon,

As spires of fading daylight throw motley shadows with final throws of passing glory.
