Time


I was once talking to a Ute,
In a valley of Ancients
and she took us to pictures
carved in the rock
chipped with stone
and colored with animal fat mixed with red ocher.


“These spirals represent the passing of time-
so the Hopi say”
and I looked
and wondered
is time spiraling out,
or in?
To eternity-
or to the end?

I love your imagery. I think you are going to be a great writer Berkley. I can see it in your spirit.
I am excited to see how your life unfolds. Now you've got two more fans...Colin and me.:-) I left a comment below but I didn't know if you'd get one on the old post.

This is my favorite so far Barkley. I read it aloud to Gracie and she approved also. :-) You indeed have a natural talent for putting your thoughts and what your heart says into written word. :-) Two more fans in Moscow, Idaho

Rose and Gracie

Awww, your making me turn red! Oh, wait...that's my polyester allergy again. In any case thanks! Try reading Gracie the Kool-aid one, that's my nephew's favorite.
