Hieroglyphics grace the confront
Of a granite shelf earlier mentioned
A indicator of men and women, extended earlier absent
Recording daily life there of
And on a different granite wall
In aged New Mexico
They added “Paso Por Aqui”
To the names and destinations located
On the encounter of the wonderful “El Morro”.
Traces of our record, traces of our lives
Of household trees and ‘ology
Of each individual race and creed
So, cowboy stories, poetry
We share and glean . . .and prose
Falls from a pen somewhere in time
Till the wording glows
And there . . .and there . . .
A tale flows, that may perhaps not all be genuine
But it is a cowboy tale
And some day it will not be new
“fools names in silly places”
Grandma when instructed me
But will the names and places
That today we travel and see
Ever really keep the tales
Regardless of whether tall or truly legitimate?
Thank God for pen and paper,
To keep our secret
The modern-day hieroglyphics
Of our cowboy heritage.
~ Sally Bates | 2015
