Canyon (A Poem About Discipline)

Canyon (A Poem About Discipline)

I can choose
which way
My river flows.

Not every song
Obliges me;
Not every flower
Requires a photograph.

There is beauty
In the delta;
Indecision rich
Without boundaries.

But I can be a canyon
Where water whispers
Deep into rock for
Eons and travelers
Know it is too holy
For cameras here.
