Descending veil
cloaking
Gahe's gentle drum
Echoes through hills
as Nature- Gods reach
spreading diamonds
across a native sky
They kneel, exploring
Legends of ones-ancient
Begging prayer to know
where ends the spirit,
and soul begins

Solitary-divine

Bending nature
In this ne're green pasture of lore
Encantations
thrown from heaven,
and returned to a universe
of saving grace
as the morning star rises

Comments: In the Zuni Native American Culture, the Gahe are spirits that live in the mountains and foretell the devestation of Planet Earth

Beautiful write and photo.
The New Mexico skyline at sunrise/sunset is always awesome, as are the many legends that live in those canyons and hills.

The whole poem was really awesome, but I liked this in particular-

"Begging prayer to know
where ends the spirit,
and soul begins"

Not many people understand that there's even a difference between the two. It shows that you give alot of meaningful thought to meaningful subjects.

I love Zuni rings for their spirit, and understand their devotion to Mother Nature.

Your words are blessed with the spirits that write the wind's mind of a poet teaching a reader.
