Rendezvous in Ramah

Two States across the Southwest
and my phone is fading fast;
I need to conjure Dharma
before the moment’s past.
the saguaro trees are trembling in
the shimmering midday heat;
their flowers are so beautiful
and the fruit is always sweet.
Deep into an enchanted land
Four Corners now long gone;
sweat beads upon my brow
the afternoon forlorn.
the pueblo folk are inscrutable
their features laced with time;
stone monuments are humbling
as I search for any sign.
I drive by intuition, like
an eagle on the wing;
the roads no longer posted
as the winds commence to sing.
the azure skies turn purple
as I find and lose my way;
the sun a reddening postscript
to a long and mile-swept day.
Still miles out of Ramah
the world is ebon blind;
jackrabbits tempt the bumper
but can’t make up their minds.
the gas is all but vapours
the night of music gone;
the road a treacherous rock slide,
but I’ll drive until I’m done.

Hey Spike!!
Well the rest of the piece was damn fine, my dear poet! (I sent the PM I spoke
to you about). I wish I could have been there. From what I understand Ramah is
a very small place. But the pics were enticing enough. Something about that
place appeals to me-- even with the dryness and all. Ken and Marti are such
beautiful souls and are so lucky to have found each other. And to have you
for a friend. (I know of this)
25 years is rare these days. It is as inspiring as this write, my friend. :)
LOVED your line about the jackrabbits. ;)
