TOMORROWS OF YESTERDAY

Spanning across
the horizon
into the evening sun
all along rugged tops of
the Wichita Mountains

Speaking silently
to its beauty
remembering family
that’s come and gone
passing through here

Embracement
of memoirs
clearly seeing heirs
enriched inheritance
given to me and you

Absorbing what’s
left to stay
tomorrows of yesterday
holding on tightly
for fear of letting go
