AUTUMN IN THE JEMEZ
Yes, it was that day
The one we have
All been waiting for
A sweet day in autumn
We were hiking in the Jemez
In a canyon
With tall dried grasses
Suddenly we heard
Sounds bouncing
Off canyon walls
It was hard to tell
Where it was coming from
Soft hoots
Echoing back and forth
We hurried our steps
Was it up ahead
What was it
Then we saw the sandhill cranes
Making their migratory
Journey
To the Bosque
Later we were told
Because of the waves from
Los Alamos
The cranes get lost
They must circle several times
To find their way
It is true for humans too
Sometimes we must
Try more than once
To find our way

Scary that the cranes get lost by those waves.
Yes. Thanks Bjorn. Annell Livingston

How sad the cranes get lost by confusion. How sad that we humans also get confused and lost.
Yes, sometimes we do. Thanks for your comment. Annell Livingston

It is only right to re-track back when things don’t seem to go along the right way as desired!

Ohh how tragic that the cranes get lost due to flurry and fluster of those waves.
I don’t know what kind of waves are emitted from Los Alamos, but the cranes over come them, by circling to regain their “heading.” Thanks for your comment. Annell Livingston
