within the walls of the grand canyon
as i stay home on a sunday night
and dream of being there
with my baby grand in tow
oh-- if i managed to get it
there, i'd stay put
within the sedimentary rock
for the rest of my days
i'd play eagerly on the keys
for all of eternity-as mother
earth would wonder, yet love
with her occasional trembling--
at my persistent style--pushing through
ordinary scaling of rock and tree
father sky would cheer blessed harmony
rain tears of celebration with me-
my improvisations running up and down the key board
as stones skip with joy- down the hard river rock--
then fall willingly--into the old mighty
