Mirage

Noon.

Cattle crossing.
Dust devils obscure
sun bleached longhorn skull.

Anti grav quit.
Sweat and sand burn my eyes.
Things go wrong.

Cold beer and a cigar.
No clouds no rain.
I did my best.

A friend in words is near.
Phrases to please the ear.
Thanks from me he'll hear.

Still, there is alot to do.
I see a shimmering pool to the east.
A tiny sparrow glibly flies by.

God protects me.
So I can be happy.
Time to fire up the Harley.

Man Grito -You never cease to amaze. The imagery need I say it .... Superb as always! You make me want to move there. I love the heat and hate the cold - yet I still live in New England ... I need to rethink my location ;) Great write and read! ..... Ken

Reading almost most of your poetry and some prose I see that you are not only an accomplished wordsmith and painter of masterpieces but you are a cigar smoking all around man who looks great on a Harley. Wow, for a young man you sure have lived a lifetime and may you enjoy the joy and bliss for many many more lifetimes.

I must say that I see your choice of poems to review as introspective and that what may challenge others gives you joy. Sit a spell and I will share my Merlot for your thoughts!

Sometimes things do seem like a mirage, thanks for the understanding!

You can feel the quintessential cowboy --terse, weathered, man of few words, and so matter-of-fact.

Thank you Night!

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
