Coming Through (from Caroline)

Salty waves of a tempest sea
leaped wildly over, engulfing me.
Sun and stars in their course spun round,
hurtled straightaway to the ground.
Mountains scaling high the air
fell on me-- I did not care.
To conquer me the universe
grew insane, grotesque, perverse.
Yet I endure because-- I will;
Undaunted, undiminished still.
Subtle, primitive,
smoldering colors of Colorado--
Unearthed,
quiet fire,
the essence of smoke signals.
Feel the warmth of Indian Summer.
Dusky mountain shadows and morning stars.
Wildberries glistening with moisture like dew drops, desert roses to prairie fire,
from copper canyons to new earth;
colors of a western sunset.
