    Mirage
    Noon.

    Cattle crossing.
    Dust devils obscure
    sun bleached longhorn skull.

    Anti grav quit.
    Sweat and sand burn my eyes.
    Things go wrong.

    Cold beer and a cigar.
    No clouds no rain.
    I did my best.

    A friend in words is near.
    Phrases to please the ear.
    Thanks from me he'll hear.

    Still, there is alot to do.
    I see a shimmering pool to the east.
    A tiny sparrow glibly flies by.

    God protects me.
    So I can be happy.
    Time to fire up the Harley.

    Man Grito -You never cease to amaze. The imagery need I say it .... Superb as always! You make me want to move there. I love the heat and hate the cold - yet I still live in New England ... I need to rethink my location ;) Great write and read! ..... Ken

    Reading almost most of your poetry and some prose I see that you are not only an accomplished wordsmith and painter of masterpieces but you are a cigar smoking all around man who looks great on a Harley. Wow, for a young man you sure have lived a lifetime and may you enjoy the joy and bliss for many many more lifetimes.

    I must say that I see your choice of poems to review as introspective and that what may challenge others gives you joy. Sit a spell and I will share my Merlot for your thoughts!

    i feel the dust and the wind and the sun ... i see the bleached skull and the cattle crossing ... and i've been in the desert knowing with gratitude that i was where i needed to be, even tho the immediate situation might look grim :) love this vignette ... thx for posting!

    Sometimes things do seem like a mirage, thanks for the understanding!

    You can feel the quintessential cowboy --terse, weathered, man of few words, and so matter-of-fact.

    Thank you Night!

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
