Echoes in the Canyon- a poem

Echoes in the Canyon

Stillness, broken by a whisper,
No, a voice growing louder and stronger
Carried by the wind;
Lofty and swaying
Down through the canyon walls.

That which began in silence
Has become a resounding eloquence;
Though receding as it bounces
Deeper into the canyon,
Still, it can be heard for miles;
Faintly, strongly,
Depending on the wind.

This is the power of a spoken word.
