Santa Fe National Cemetery

Santa Fe National Cemetery, Santa Fe, New Mexico

Row upon row of white stones
Marking the resting places
Of soldiers lying below—
They have names, but no faces.

Thistle

Thistle along the Animas River, Aztec, New Mexico

Thistle near the river,
Sharpened by the sun,
I would never touch you;
Rather, I would run!

River Walk

Rail along the Animas River walk, Aztec, New Mexico

Running by the river
Near a ruby rail,
How my heart grows stronger—
Hearty, whole, and hale!
