    About this ebook

    Voices in the Wind is a small collection of some of my poetry. There are many different subjects from my travels through the Sandstone Canyons of the Southwestern Desert. Along with my own research and many legends told to me from various sources, I have given you a small look into my life and travels. The subjects range from love, broken hearts, and to what I have witnessed from walking the sandy Faraway shores of the distant lands I have visited. I hope you enjoy my travels through Voices in the Wind as much as I have enjoyed writing them. I welcome you...
