Tara Crown - Canyon

Yes, I have shouted across the great canyon
as long and loud as ever I could muster
only to have the sounds hit that granite wall
on the other side
and bounce back in echoes onto me
with such force
as to knock the wind out
and fling me backward
to land with an audible thud on my ass!
