The Rock Serpent and the Journey Home

I passed by this site on my way to the Pecos river and stopped both going up and coming back in the evening…. I had to paint it and write a poem!

The Rock Serpent

A rock serpent emerges from

Rugged hills South of Galisteo

Silently moving West to East,

Returning to its’ molten home.

I also climb the hilltops,

Feel the Sun above and

The golden grass beneath my feet.

Grateful on each step

On this journey home.
