| Powdered blood on the desert floor, fine as the silken sky of night Contrasting rust against grey limestone, reflects ancient fire’s light. While sandstone peaks point to the stars and the gaping caves demand Vivid blue spirit skies invite warriors’ souls to rest in this red land. And the warriors of a far distant war, never to clasp each other’s hands, Breaths of the Wind Spirits echo and whisper eerie mournful sounds The ancient rocks and desert sands absorb the blood of ancient times ©Anthony W. Pahl 30th December 2001 |
Dedicated to Rebecca SaraAnne GreyEagle (nee SmallEagle) and written as a tribute to her father, Marvin GrayEagle, an American hero, a Native American, a Vietnam Veteran, and my friend.
