• Apache Moon

    As I spread out my bedroll
    atop the high mesa,
    the aroma of pine and pinon
    surround the air
    and sear the rabbit
    roasting over the open flame.

    As I settle into the bedroll,
    and looking skyward, I
    am greeted by the infinity
    of glittering stars,
    and the rising Apache Moon.

      Great perspective Tim.

    • Powerfully penned, Tim. Another great write my friend. We all fear death. Appreciate you.

  • Morning Coffee Thoughts

    As the sun rose
    on a calm summer morning,
    and I faced the four directions,
    asking for balance,

    • It’s beautiful… Definitely relaxing to read and vision. ❤️
