I went on a 2 week kayaking and canoeing trip this past summer with an amazing group of people, and for the last night we were there, we were asked to write a poem. So I decided to use one of my favorite forms, Haiku, to describe this beautiful and amazing place I didn't want to leave.
A dawn-lit morning
cloudless skies; a desert solace
wake me so I'll live.
The native wind blows
dusty island paradise
brings life to my soul.
O' quiet Myst'ry
I have nothing to look for
but myself to gain.
Dusk blended the sky
and red rock paintings reveal
a gall'ry of myth.
Creatures of the night
sing to me sweet lullabies
set my spirit free.
