Lose Yourself in Every Moment

The white glow was shrouded,
Hidden by vermilion cliffs.
For hours the moon rose behind them
Until her glow lit the desert floor.
We sat in silence.
In awe as she became exposed.
The fire between us,
Bound to grow.

We passed the whiskey,
Shared a beer,
And lit a smoke.
No space between the two of us
But the rocks we hopped across
Right to the edge of the canyon.
The Colorado cried our names,
Louder and louder
As we approached.

Our feet rested at the edge,
I reveled in the moment.
The only sound,
The river below.
The canyon walls engulfed
In a sweet white light.
Pure beauty surrounded
Just the two of us.
