THIS is just how I view the Native American Lore, as Spiritual and AWESOME as they were!
This poem "No Rains Come" is deeply felt!
A keeper this will be, ( in my Jon A/D folder) as it filled MY own spirit magically!
Thank you for sharing what you thought you were NOT sure of writing Jon! This is amazing of the feelings they more than once felt, in their toughest of times, as hope had to endure in their lives!

WRITE ON!
Warmest Blessings of Love and Peace, Warrior Purple Lady SHEExooo

Southwest native lament. Nicely chosen words of their plight, so dependent on the weather to survive.

White man come and suck the mighty river dry for some place they call, 'California.'

Jon,
Beautiful! Each image is authentic and perfect for the setting, mood and tone...you have taken me back to a once flourishing lifestyle and culture now sadly dwindling and marginalized. This is simply great.
