Grand View Range

There is a moment

Where time stands still

Where the day is ending

And the sun’s rays deepen

As she lowers in the sky

As if to remind us that this day that is passing

Is full of glory

A day that has been

A day that will never be again

So she sets the mountain range on fire

Till it glows in brilliance

The gullies cut in contrast of deep shadow

Our eyes are drawn up

And we find ourselves breathing deep

Paused here in this moment

One with the land

One with the sky

One with eternal time itself

Here is glory

Here is deep joy

Here is simple ‘being’

Here is space for all that has been

All that is

And all that will be

Here is space for us

This is not a moment to rush through

This is our time

Our place

And here in this simple moment of eternity

We are reminded of who we are

Our own glory

Our smallness and our greatness all at once

There is space even for raged broken things here

As the light falls on us too

Reminding us of our own beauty

So we breathe

With the land

With the sky

With the moment

And all at once

We too are part of eternity

Where does the road go?

We know it will move us on

But for now

We are here
