Oh, to travel
beyond heavenly star beads
entering realms where ancient ones drum
aromatic purple sage, drifting tumbleweeds
deep within russet earthly soil, vortexes hum
salmon canyons, wild spirited horses run
thunder- bird hovers, full of energy and light
journey quest beyond the burnt orange sun
hot desert oasis , primordial power in flight
clustered buttes, monuments of sandstone
towering totems , spiritual animal guides
breaking hushed silence, winds gently moan
entering realms where ancient ones drum
aromatic purple sage, drifting tumbleweeds
deep within russet earthly soil, vortexes hum
salmon canyons, wild spirited horses run
thunder- bird hovers, full of energy and light
journey quest beyond the burnt orange sun
hot desert oasis , primordial power in flight
clustered buttes, monuments of sandstone
towering totems , spiritual animal guides
breaking hushed silence, winds gently moan
within canyon
walls mysticism resides
lost
in thoughts echoes of horse hooves
gold//yellow
rays sashay across an electric blue sky
traveling cinnamon valley of stone and sand
chanting primal songs
shadowy apparitions cry
sensing vibrations, inner heartbeat of the land
sunlit vista,
journey into the great unknown
majestic castle
butte, fortress of dreams
towering cliffs ,
view of a king on a throne
flickering in the
horizon golden sunbeams
beneath scorching sun, parched dry earth
souls wander protecting
sacred gateways
cool rain quenching
thirst, offering rebirth
dancing rhythm,
rain makers give praise
lost
in thoughts, embracing renewal

a friend who recently visited
Monument Valley and provided me
with this picture. Thank-you

ReplyDeleteHi Humbird, I am glad you felt inspired. Thank you so much for your kind words.
DeleteA very refreshing read, I enjoyed the spiritual journey ~ I so want to meet a rainmaker in real life ~ Have a lovely week ~
ReplyDeleteHi Grace,
DeleteI agree would be wonderful to meet a rainmaker..
Amazing take Truedessa! One can see lots of beauty even in arid and dry surroundings. It is a question of what one cares to see. That will determine how much one can see!

DeleteWhat a picture you paint. Your poems made me think of Santa Fe/Taos areas of New Mexico where I live. It reminded me of the Native American culture there, so in love with nature. I love your colors and the beauty you invoke.
ReplyDeleteActually, the picture inspired me to write..I tried to capture the journey within this sacred place.
DeleteThis is absolutely glorious - such vivid imagery - the horses hooves, the sage and tumbleweed, the red canyons.....a spectacular photo too - would be so awesome to be there in person. In your poem, I almost am.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry,
DeleteIt certainly has a story to tell filled with magic and the allure of nature it's like someone took a brush and painted the scene.
You summed it up even more so than one who has even been there. So much to see even if at first glance it does look bare. Spirits and stone together as one, protecting the road to other realms beneath the scorching sun.
ReplyDeleteThere he is Mister Pat Hatt
Deletethe guy who's blog is where it's at
Spirits protect that land I am sure it is true
how could it not be so under a sky of blue
You're a true poet, alright. Fortress of dreams.... I like that. I'd settle for a couch of dreams. You know what I'm talking about.
ReplyDeleteAh a fortress of dreams
Deleteheld within the walls it seems

Such a natural spiritual poem. I enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and welcome..
DeleteI especially like that second stanza. The whole piece is painted so colorfully, so vivid.

ReplyDeleteSuch vivid descriptions. I've not gotten to see or hear wild horses in this environment, but this type of place is my favorite place to visit, relax, and just soak in everything.
ReplyDeletethanks for visiting..I hope to get there some day to take in the view..
Deletethere you go again. your talent for extraordinary, magical choice of words. that accompanying photo is my fortress in another life, another world of fantasy and myth. thanks for taking me to your fairy tale world once again!!!
