The Beckoning Wind (+1)

The road is your only

companion

When the memories won’t kill you

—but the lingering will

 

(Highway 93 Lolo Montana: September, 1990)

 

 

Searching For Crazy Horse

 

Remembering to forget,

the road opened in front of me

 

Remembering to forget,

the past drifted away

 

Remembering to forget,

my today my tomorrow

 

Remembering to forget

—my tomorrow today

 

(Devil’s Tower Wyoming: September, 1990)

 

 

 

Christening Time

 

Shadows of tomorrow,

reflections of yesterday

 

Images of the moment

—in whose Trinity we pray

 

(Devil’s Tower Wyoming: September, 1990)

 

 

 

The Holy Road

 

Your voice like smoke,

 it calls from the distance

 

Luring your enemy into

 winds of deceit

 

The clouds of your fathers,

hiding hailstones above

 

Disguising the truth

—as you lie in wait

 

(Devil’s Tower Wyoming: September, 1990)
