Shadows and colors flit about the walls
As the sun shifts west and twilight comes.
Even the wind seems to be part of the show.
Reds, yellows, grays and yes, even blacks
Moving like rivers along the walls in here.
As the sunlight switches from East to West
To catch this array of colors is as easy
As catching the early morn mist by hand—
It is already gone when you open your hand.
Only the eye can hold the color display.
Our memory has problems retaining the changes.
So much so that only by visiting here
Every other year, or two will you know
How truly exciting and great your visit
To our Grand Canyon will be for you.
Every time you are here, something new
And different each time you see the show.
