Terrain

Cactus blossom

Opening up to the morning light

that pierces the mountaintops as it rises

Prayers to our creator

cast into barren skies

Arms, upturned and raised

A sage that knows his land too well

Forming unity in sanctions that are scattered across the mesas and over the mountainous terrain

Into the valleys and plains that kiss the other side

Each one, bearing one who has been chosen to lead them

Fighting battles that have not even begun yet

Some spun

Some drunk and belligerent

Abusive, many

Carried away by the winds of change forced upon all of the creatures of habit

Less intellect than has the jackrabbit who's habits are far more sensible than theirs

Everyone cares for everyone

Without first looking through their souls

Conceptualization becomes delusional

The stories all have many holes in them

Just like the cactus blossom who's concept is to reach toward the sunlight to capture it all and soak it all in....
