Words of Images (Sedona Series)
Understood by so few
Seen by fewer
A sight so memorable
Ruins they are, but still there
Life from another time standing still
Take a breath of the air they once breathed
Imagine for a moment they stood there
You see what they saw
The landscape still lives
Little has changed as time goes on
Listen to the sounds they once heard
Breezes in the air
Sounds of the running stream
Quiet as though time stopped for a moment
Peaceful where they once listened
Walk the land once theirs
A path worn down with their many steps
Possibly setting foot in their footsteps
You are where they once were
Standing where they once stood
These are scenes that inspire. There are times when the scene in front of you triggers the inspiration to convey in words what your senses are experiencing.
While on a trip to Sedona, a visit to Montezuma’s Well served as the catalyst for a moment of thought about what it may have been like to live at the time these dwellings were inhabited.
Dating back to the 1100’s these were homes to a group of Native Americans known as the Sinagua.
A breathtaking scene that inspired “Standing Where They Once Stood”.
Note: This is the first in the ‘Words of Images (Sedona Series)’.
