Surprisingly this poem is inspirational. It's about the faith and grit of our earliest ancestors crossing the plains.
Published 2006 by A Little Poetry.com; copyright, J. Donald Coonrod

An invasion of half-tones,
slowly growing cells below
a veil of brilliant yellow blooms,
covering the bones of Christ,
rattling in loose satchels
on a wandering mule,
looking for Spring
in Death Valley.

Hear the clicking, clicking,
coming together before sleep,
a clock of mystery,
when nothing is left
but dry seeds,
a western plain hugging
the heat, hugging despair and
hoping for rain.
