The beauty of abstract thought.

"The Chess pieces are the block alphabet which shapes thoughts; and
these thoughts, although making a visual design on the chessboard,
express their beauty abstractly, like a poem"
--Marcel Duchamp

Ranks of Mesas

The act of morning fell so soft upon the scene,
and i tremble, stumble, upon this hill, from a dream,
inspired by the formations afar,
i am thankful and i have traveled far without pause!!

you are the wise, i stand before you a vulnerable man,
so lifeless, almost nothing,i kneel a courageous coward,
 oh without exhaustion, such beauty you posses,
the vast expanse, unmeasurable beauty, the ranks of mesas.
oh all i can do is admire, adore.... i am shy and i applause!!

as the daylight moon shimmers in sunlight,
a gentle breeze trickles the juniper shade,
and i smile as the breeze carries on through the ranks of mesas,
the valleys have stopped, as day awaits the birth of night,
i to shall sit and wait for the evening scene to conspire!!

oh mesas, you  have grown unnoticed,
from the vast radiant rays you have risen,
the western sky drips with a new sunset,
trapped inside your solitude, your formidable prison,
i will not leave, i am ashamed and i applause!!

Walk in beauty

Oh Great Spirit I raise sacred smoke to the four sacred winds and the four corners, so that the blessings can reach my family, my friends, all in every corner of Great Mother Earth while the smoke disperses all over Father Sky and lit by Mother Moon.
Let the smoke pass to each their blessing and do away with all sorrows and unhappiness, fill their homes with love, and the light of your wisdom. If any be sick cure them if sad make them happy if they have needs fulfill them.
O Great Spirit of our Ancestors, I raise sacred smoke to you, to your messengers the four winds, and to Mother Earth who provides for your children. Give us the wisdom to teach our children to love, to respect, and to be kind to each other so that they may grow with peace in mind. Let us learn to share all the good things that you provide for us on this Earth.
