*Looking back into the vastness* *where time began and will end* *purple clouds and pink diffusion* *signal the ascent* *of a fiery orange explosion* *Colored clouds collide* *over the Sleeping Giant* *Mine eyes have seen* *the glory of the pink hue* *along the Backbone* *Coloring with that hue* *the other Sleeping Giant, too* *I stand outside* *the cemetery in its darkness* *unthreatening, unthreatened* *I feel peace in this place* *yet there are so many* *who went so young* *during those impossible* *homesteading days* *Tho’ so many have wept* *where these* *all those years have slept* *Its Peace* *Comes from its Place* *Amen* *©2012/duke larance ~ the Drugstore Cowboy Poet*

Horizon's confluency where birth and death meet where the veil thins between the living and the dead. Feast and famine of another century those working the land for improvement laid to rest for their toil in a generation of hardship, war and poverty that took their toll. Personal historical poetry, Duke...a gift to the descendants of those families of yesteryear, and a spiritual godly slant within the line "Mine eyes have seen the glory" and the title...good thoughtful work. Love & Spiritual Kinship, Sage

There's something different about the big sky country and its cemeteries then the little family cemetery by the river in Wisconsin. Both are reverent places. Some show more hardship than others, but all of them bear witness to death. You paint a peaceful Western scene as vivid as a painting. Ron
