Choices

I sit upon this Earth
And revel in her choices
The miracles
That Nature makes

No strokes go wrong
She’s always right
And so I learn
What beauty is

The Ziggurat

We approached the ziggurat
Towing over thirty feet of living space
Exiting
The Valley of the Gods

Switchbacks, gravel and steep grades
More than a thousand feet straight up
I wondered
At the wisdom of this drive

Then the thought
Each adventure ever had
Begins with
Just a little bit of faith

Standing Watch, Standing Fast

Three sentinels stand watch
Over the graves of
Cowboys and movie stars
Where the Navajo stand fast

Visibility

Were there no eyes to see
Would there still be
A universe to see

If the bumblebee
Could do science
What world would its textbooks see

Dead and Dry

death seems no where so
vital as in desertscapes
embracing the sky

Pic and a Word Challenge #8 ~ Desert

In the desert
Where only death
And the earth
Linger long

In the desert
I strip myself
Bare of conceit
Bare of ego

Pic and a Word Challenge #9 ~ Serenity

I am out on the lake, paddling the canoe. A couple monofilament lines trail, slim as a whisper, trolling for trout. It’s a wide blue sky, with a few wispy clouds hanging stationary above the mountain tops, which the sun is finally clearing this perfectly beautiful morning.
