Anasazi Sunset By: Noah Eaton 3/22/01 Titans of Trinity gently nod yonder the guava skies Sandstone lips break gently, the calling of Eternity just commencing That doth forgive the unforgiving Ancient passion bleeds, it’s essence quoth this vast golden blanket Cradled in the veneer lap of Her serenity The sagebrush children sway in the sitar winds Sipping the flaming blood of their fathers, bereaving the Higher Peace The legacy of earthly love cloaked upon the sooners Another sleeping arroyo is another sleeping youth Hibernating amidst a sea of lies, breathing against a verisimilitude of a truth Every desert has it’s rain, every doctrine has a faith Arroyo shalt flow again, wash away at the silt of a broken sun Anasazi’s sacred honey seethes from fraternal lungs One burdened of a friend, the other governed as a foe Their spirits can still be heard, in the last light of day Beckoned from the woolen lips of the ghost coyote… And time is but a ghost within such that ghost… |

Noah~ This is just a remarkable piece of writing. So spiritual in it's movement. The Ancient Spirits of the Anasazi would be appeased with your offering. You have stoked the fire of their heritage to burn brightly in rememberance. So moving - thank you for sharing this. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Superb! How I, in a fleeting moment, lived these words I recited a loud. Thank you. "I am not now that which I have been." |

Noah = As one who shares your appreciation for the ancient indians of our southwest (It's in my will- that my ashes be spread over Anasazi land) - I particularily loved this - but even more so because as Marge already said - it has great spiritual beauty |

Noah, I do believe this is perhaps the best you have penned to date. I like the sharing of the spirit of the Indians with the words of Olde England...allowing people and their beliefs to meld.... a true joy is this, and a personal treasure in my library.... |
