Catedral Rock

The sounds in the world

Stood silent for now--

No human civilization

To distract from the beauty

Of the mesmerizing place before me.


Here--

Right now--

I feel as though the world is singing

In perfect harmony.

No off pitch noise

To ruin the perfect moment.



Authors note: Today some of the most beautiful places in the world can be ruined by the simple everyday things amongst us. It seems that wherever we go technology is always present. When I was in Arizona this was everything but that. My brother and I climbed a mountain called Cathedral Rock, and the silence let us soak in the beauty of the scene. This poem is about how a simple car horn can spoil a perfect moment.

  2. That was really good and I feel the same way with technology. If we just break it down to what is absolutely necessary life would be so much more peaceful.
