A Land of smoke and mirrors.
Ribbons of endless
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, lane highways.
- humming constantly.
on the move -always.
Struggle and strife,
dreams manifesting.
Couched under concrete,
Exotic flowers fringing
baking sun burning.
Magic in desert.
ET’s, film studios,
Glamour
oil drilling
islands created
black gold polluting
eco-system changing
nature long gone.
Huge military presences and ET sightings,
Benevolence, questioning?
Underground silos,
flash condominiums,
homeless lost souls,
rest on a sidewalk,
soulless?
Malls of more concrete
familiar names flashing
surrounding more concrete…
where are the birds?
Three hours through the city , we head for the National park,
ancient rocks anchor, remember a past
of great simplicity,
freedom,
gentility,
friendship
community.
Home at last.
Nature here is cactus and stone,
Lizard, snake hiding
Above space
A wheeling
Of occasional ravens
Or eagles revealing,
Portal moment, memory
Unfolding
they watch over coyote,
fast hares and foxes,
high up circling…….
As night falls, the sunset,
lights stone portal possibilities.
Joshua tree shadows,
And cowboy film memories,
but oh the stars!
freed of light leaking,
shine strong
reminding ….
we are just ants
in this wonderful
universe unfolding….
at one with a beauty of flawless immensity,
endless space travelling,
life capsules opening,
new possibilities, horizons revealing….
A Star trek reality.
Of timeline possibility….
Community resonance,
So important.
To make sense of the soulless,
Bring pause
to the movement of madness bleeding.
My friends so special.
Jewels
loving kindness,
generosity of spirit …..
family connecting
across time and nationality,
red blood ties always
echoing the ancestors
who danced here with spirit
their prayers and their longings
home on the land.
