Kristin Reynolds Poet Choka

Vision Quest – Horse and Rider

There are many moons
in the essence of too far –
a total eclipse,
if one just sees feet.
My skin expands with the heat
of my ancestors
in this endless space;
visions come to me boldly,
like mid-day lovers,
blooming on canvass
as if midnight lined my dreams 
on a turquoise road.
I come for the walk,
and the answers that whisper
from many strange moons.




Inspired by Abe Lopez's Native American Ekphrasis, T.C Cannon Tribute Contest. :)

Painting by T.C Cannon entitled, Horse.

Lena Pate July 25, 2009 at 11:42 AM Connecting to nature and our ancient relatives is the essence of vision trips. To travel while staying still. You did a beautiful job of capturing the essence.
