Whispers of Verde

mute stone walls
eons of furious dreams
surreal canyons fractured
in ancient streams
flowing lava beds
thundering volcanic ruins
scoured by endless winds

spirals of inscriptions
carved lost manuscripts
geometrics in vibrant rhythms
painted in symmetry
upon sandstone walls
along Devils Backbone
celebrated enchantments

windblown on Colorado Plateau
dwelling in shattered cliffs
scatterings of mesas
whispering of Verde
houses of bloody flint
scarred by countless age
mysteries of canyon lands

red canyon lands
where thunder birds fly
lightning flashing
from their eyes
rainbow maker comes
painted desert arise
sun devils abound

holy kivas are found
dwelling in ancient drifts
storm clouds gather
rains flood arroyos
wolfskin runners hide
in darkened caves
skin walkers feathered

whispers of Verde

(c) D.E. Clark

Intriguing and beguiling. I love the strong images and sounds you bring us here, Dale. It's like a paperchase, mystery trail and leads the reader along... Whispers of Verde is magical and hauting. Like a secret code... Makes me think of Indianna Jones for some reason! :)) xx

Reading this was like watch a Whirling Dervish in full swing mode. Enjoyed the strong balance between precise imagery and elusive interpretation.

A favorite line among many: "geometrics in vibrant rhythms"

A marvelous poem, my friend; and you make me want to visit the ancient western mesas and red rock canyons once more.
