Tusayan

The fallen snow does its best to cover the past. The crunching of my boots on the frozen ground is the only sound in the subzero morning. I see stone markings of the ancient ones in the area known as Tusayan.

These days it doesn’t seem to matter. No good or bad comes to me, only the progression of the sun migrating East to West on a never ending journey around me.

 

I marvel each time my friend the Sun passes me, as if the two of us are sharing in a secret unbeknownst to the rest of the world.
