    western dream

    tumbleweed rolls windswept streets---as snakes and cactus re-claim the land--faded signs swing in the breeze---remembering pioneer courage and pain---shining rails and singing gangs---buffalo killed on the plains---the gold rush ---and children on the reservation---death of the frontier---birth of a nation

    I love the flashback of history in this piece. Nice to read and reminisce about. ginga

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
