A trip to the Sierra Madre

Waves and breaking with endless horizons traveling south each day. Witness of life on oceans arriving I’m reaching for something to say. The beach is receiving the waters embrace and stretches to keep the touch It yearns for another small sea taste And calls for the tide to do such To travel inland from the sea's playful edge I turn a back to the beach. The spirit that guides me and lives that pledge must follow me as I seek. The foothills arise and stretch up and away they listen in prayerful restrain. The teacher that follows knows not what to say As the altar entwines the terrain A quiet praise is shouted and all hear inside I expect some large god to arrive. She is here and there and yet does not preside To do so would mean some denied. A quiet so loud it soothes the heart while easing the mind of pain I found in the heights and looming ramparts A church in the creator’s mane
