Changes in the Wind Part III

I am not alone
I am serenaded
by the wind 
and gently swayed
by the sun

Rhythm and Blues and a few Country Western Haikus: This is a peace poem

This is a peace poem

dwelling in the canyon
of red sand stone
we marked our houses
with characters
befitting our desires
if we were sad
we chose happiness
or a sign for
deeper sorrow
wanting to go
to the bottom
of the well
we were the
red sand people


our neighbors
were from
blue cloud gulch
they were
a two day walk
from us
we did not
own cars
anymore
there was no fuel
we did not
fight any more
there was
no need
