Contemplation of Southern Utah Terrain on a Stormy Night

A Sunday night in new terrain
Not far from Zion's National Park
Enjoying a warm humid evening
While sitting on the front porch
Of ou new home in Southern Utah
Watching God's light show
As spectacular bolts of lightning
Streak across the indigo blue sky
While sinister clouds seem to linger
Their darkness blotting out the horizon
The bright streaks of lightning
Serving to light up the neighborhood
Sparking thoughts of new beginnings
And an appreciation of God's handiwork
That abounds across this land of red rocks
A land framed by mountains and mesas
Heavenly pallets that hold the mere artist
In total awe and near hopeless envy
Causing mere men to feel quite small
When compared to the magnitude
Of the terrain found in Southern Utah
