Sculptor
by Gay Williford
After the photograph of Antelope Canyon by Bing Hua
I am a western river of the past
that carved canyons as I flowed,
my waves creating swirls,
curves, spikes and cracks in rock layers.
Today, sunlight pierces these fissures
revealing beautiful earth colors
that emerge from dark shadows.
As I swept across limestone,
sandstone and shale,
my currents etched deep,
complex ravines, leaving amazing landscapes
that now invite visitors’ awe and respect.
