Indigo on the horizon
Cauliflower clouds
Drawn childlike
Merely touch ups
On this ancient artwork
Like a desert backdrop
I wait for the curtain to fall
To end this dream
And here lies
The beauty of reality
The reality of beauty
Am I afraid to take another step
For fear of falling off this stage?
I am but a spectator
In this production
One descending particle
Over sandstone cliffs
Where wild mustangs roamed

I love visiting there! We go down to that part of Utah once a year. It is so beautiful!
Lovely, haunting landscape.
Thank you…it was very surreal 🙂
“The reality of beauty”
Loved the reality of beauty and beauty of reality…….what a glorious photo up top – is that you? Your writing is very beautiful. Thanks for your visit to my blog. Would love to hear how we share similar stories, do feel welcome to email me at wildwoman2@shaw.ca and thanks so much for your visit.
Thanks for your comments. I really enjoy your blog as well. Will drop you an email. for sure. 🙂
An amazing view to write about.
Yes, it my favourite place on earth…..so far. 😉
The beauty of the Southwest is as you say breathtaking.. and to stand there on the precipice you wonder if you ever will be the same again.
It really did have an effect on me. I can’t explain the calm, surreal feeling that this place has…it was as if I’d just stepped into something magical.
Really great share. What a view!
Thank you! 🙂
This is a beautiful poem for a stunning view. Sometimes we come upon a place that speaks to our souls in a way other places do not and this stays with us forever. I too like ‘The beauty of reality / The reality of beauty’.
Thank you so much, Gabriella and for the great prompt as well. Dead Horse Point is stunning and you’re right, it did speak to me…in a silent way. 🙂
The photo you have shared almost takes my breath away, and your poem does it justice. I very much like the beauty of reality and the reality of beauty. We really need to think about those two words are connected. We are all indeed spectators in the play of nature, I think.
Thanks, Mary. I have to give credit to my husband for this photo. I was blown away by the beauty of it and I felt so fortunate to be there. 🙂
Beautiful!!
Thanks!! 🙂
oh i just love love love the Cauliflower clouds
wow, and I second guessed using that description….glad I did. D)
I do love that part of the country and your poem brought the beauty of it as alive as did the photo.

Thank you! 🙂
Makes me believe in everything!! Magical.
It really does…I have been here twice but the first time was very emotional as it felt like nothing could be more beautiful than this place.
