First Timers

To the Moab Children (Jordan, MerriLyn, Kyle, Latesha)

Everything was beauty
Sagebrush to sand
Earth soaring to sky in formation

We drank in the sights
pouring it deep so it couldn't seep away
Beauty hard edged with heat and pain

We were pushing
ourselves, our limits
each other

We hiked from arch to arch
red dust tattooed into our skin
packing everything in moments

Sudden reality
striking us to our core
singing notes we'd never sung

We listened to stories
stories in sand
blown away and muddled by morning

We listened to the rocks
drenched in culture
in us

We left the rocks behind
Stories
soaked into our hearts

Red rock returning us home
Best Friends Ever
To the beauty of every day
