A pretty thing
A lifetime of utility
Goes to ground
Embraced by nature
Becomes prettier
Still
A lifetime of utility
Goes to ground
Embraced by nature
Becomes prettier
Still

The Harsh Mistress
Sun and rain burrow deep
Into paint and the past
Revealing transitions
And the names of those
Lost to time and memory
Into paint and the past
Revealing transitions
And the names of those
Lost to time and memory
Barbed Wire & Bullet Holes
Barbed wire and bullet holes
A 20 year old reminder
Of a country broken
And rebuilt
Broken again
And rebuilt
A 20 year old reminder
Of a country broken
And rebuilt
Broken again
And rebuilt
Faint Hope
Faint hope
Like the sun, shrouded
Seeking the balcony
Like the little Buddha
An outline in the shadows
You and the Wall were never Friends
Some days
No matter how beautiful it seems
From the perspective you’re viewing
Or how comfortable you feel
Right where you’re standing
No matter how beautiful it seems
From the perspective you’re viewing
Or how comfortable you feel
Right where you’re standing
Ya just gotta stop
Take stock
And realise
You’ve hit a wall
Beauty expressed for a different mind
Some cannot see the beauty
In a burned-out forest
So I find it for her
In a burned-out forest
So I find it for her
In the dawn time
In the dawn time
When the light lies low
Yet vibrant
When the dew clings
And the earth seems still
Walls within Walls
Walls within walls
Doorways within doorways
Once forbidden
Once foreboding
Doorways within doorways
Once forbidden
Once foreboding
Layers of mystery
Peeled away
By time
Politics
And Money
Standing Watch, Standing Fast
Three sentinels stand watch
Over the graves of
Cowboys and movie stars
Where the Navajo stand fast
Over the graves of
Cowboys and movie stars
Where the Navajo stand fast
Relentless Pursuit
The sun follows
In relentless pursuit
Leaving footprints
In the sky
In relentless pursuit
Leaving footprints
In the sky
