Drinking The Ancient Medicine   1 comment

Sunset (1 of 1) blogSunset Over The Tucson Mountains — Image by kenne

My home is in the foothills,
Down near the wash
Where water flows
When it rains in the mountains.

Each day I watch the sunset
Gone, a million thoughts
Now traveling through the galaxies
Leaving nature’s priceless treasure.

It is not a thing, yet it is before me
Only to be concealed by shadows
Walking across the mountains
Sinking deeply into earth’s flesh.

I live in the foothills,
Now five winters, where each night
I’m happy resting among the stars
Drinking the ancient medicine.

Tall trees stand behind
Scrubs cover the mountainside
Through which a road runs.

Rocky peaks reach up
Form a desert silhouette
Above the basin.

Clouds move slowly by
Cover parallel ranges
Hugging Old Pueblo.
