contrast the barren beauty
of the grand boulders
secrets of the land
kept hidden through the ages
whispered to the wind
how the rock does stand
but lets the blue sky shine through
we can only guess
as the seasons pass
the rock strong, unyielding
guards the secrets well
This pictures was taken last May when Carrie and I visited Acoma Pueblo near Albuquerque, New Mexico. The mesas and rock formations are a sight to behold as they jut up from the desert floor with there flat tops and huge rocks that seem to do the impossible as they balance on each other. Geologist think they know how and why, but Indian folk lore is so much more appealing when visiting this part of our country.

This is amazing Patsy!!! I love it. I can feel that I'm almost right there in the photo itself, the way you have with words. The strong rock is guarding me...love it!!!
Beautiful haiku and rock formation from the Southwest.
Hugs and blessings,
Wow! What a gorgeous shot. I can only imagine how amazing it was in person. You captured it wonderfully in haiku :)
Delightful Haiku, I could almost hear the whispers being told to the wind. So many places and people I would love to visit and meet in the States!
