A poem to share from Barb Wiatrak Young.

Just a reminder Barb and I went to high school together. To give you a setting for this poem, she currently lives in Utah. These are thoughts we can ponder to move us into a higher peaceful state of mind. Please share her words with friends and family. Escape into her dream. Enjoy.

VERMILLION DREAMS

by barb wiatrak young

The vermillion buttes surround me

With their little tufts of green

The silent sentry rocks

Lay colored and serene.

Lazy billows drift oer head

With shadow and with shade

Where the cactus verdant green

A flower bed have made.

This is a world removed

From the bustle and the world,

Here peace flows like a river

And the sounds of quiet unfurled.

A rosy sunset paints the sky

Where God has placed his hand

Like Eden for a moment view

Surrounds this craggy land.

The colors of the rocky cliffs

Hold secrets deep and old

And winds that blow at night

Know stories yet untold...

Secrets of the dreamers

Who tamed as best they could

The wildness and the beauty

With promises of good.

Pioneers who had the dreams

And walked this rocky space

Woke from dreams to conquer

And to build this lovely place.

As vermillion dreams surround you

And the sky is cian blue

Let the shelter of the mountains

Give you a clearer view.

A view of love and beauty

Of the dreams you've yet to own

To hold them and to make them real

Before each one has flown.

For the Master’s brush is ready

To paint each dream for you

You have but to hold them

And make them all come true.

 Enjoy your last days of Summer!
