Indian Paintbrush

Indian Paintbrush

The Navajo women saw beauty all around

She would weave the flower she saw growing on the ground

Her poles were staked out and measured to height

On the upright looms, no moving parts to fight

Her eyes would slowly look

To the subject, she undertook

Her hands moved too and fro

A field of Indian paintbrushes row after row

Dancing in the gentle breeze

With such quiet ease

A fiery red they would glow

putting on a beautiful show

She would sit hour upon hour

Glancing up briefly to examine her flower

The Indian Paint her only inspiration

That gave her vision for her woven creation
