Safety in the Desert! Sand,sage,and tumble weed burning sands hot on bare feet,lizards,scorpions,and Rattlesnake this place I love with all my heart,firce beauty to fill the spirit. Foothills dot the land forever dancing in heat hazes,my heart fills to bursting with a love there is no explaining. Empty,hot,and dry is the first impression,not so this is a place filled with life just different,rocks hot enough to blister as I scramble to the top this place is perfect. Dawning song from here allows the pouring out of heart and spirit,Sunset prayers so filled with beauty every color represented like a rainbow poured on the whole world. Water here a precious thing every drop of moisture used,stored inside the cactus and the roots never wasted,abused,or trashed but celebrated for the life it gives. Here I play,grow,and learn we are safe here no one wants it,camped in the foothills or deep in the desert lands this is the only peaceful times in my life. The star filled nights so amazing reflecting our own campfire,these are our ancestors campfires above as watching down protecting in the dark time Brother Moon sails by. As the clean fire dances grandfather drums a soft beat,uncle joins on the flute,auntie shakes the rattles gently,grandmothers voice is chanting oh,the stories. Of mountians blue green and far to the East where the spirits of our people live,of the long ago when we were free in our own homes. Tears fill my very soul with yearning for a place I had never seen with my eyes,yet my spirit knows,my spirit knows just what this place looks like my ancestors home. Green valleys and trees,lakes blue and clean in the sunlight,gentle breezes blowing,sweet scented air smells like fruit and berries,oh,Creator my heart is broken! granny!

The desert does not take a back seat to the greenest hill or valley. Each has a unique beauty and spiritual essence, the same as we two leggeds. Granny, thank you for your poetic offerings of truth! |
