resting in the sand
bones of weary pioneers
free, thank God, at last

    Devoid of all bindings, the calm must be blissful indeed. Wonderfully worded MMT.

    There is nothing more simple nor more meaningful than an Old Rugged Cross.

    Sad but beautiful Haiku. And I am thankful to those pioneers for all they went through to bring life to Oregon.

    Love the encircling garlands of colourful leaves in contrast with the soft blue of the sky.
