Covenant

Barren, brown and dust,
The vast horizon line pushes on a meandering sky 
Pulling away from desert’s still and lifeless form
Where life itself only dreams above this land devoid
Of earth’s abundant blessing,
Cheated of the ample bounty held within her skirts;
The endless waste appears to speak,
In its eternal void, of sin, so great,
Creator’s hand swept away all living things from its face
To mourn in everlasting time the life now gone –
The barren womb cries out for life to return
To devastated hills, to prairie plains as
This wasteland changeless lies
Through summer heat and winter rest,
Through autumn change, but does not change
Except to remain the constant brown,
Despairing emptiness of sage
Through which the racing wind
Rattles desert’s bones and chills
The blowing sands unending dance.

Dance, O desert,
In your plaintive waltz,
The vision of creation’s plan
Lives deep within your beating heart,
Not damned, but blessed,
Living out the fullest vow
To guide the promise overseeing
Dawn ascending from oblivion
Like Spring –
To blossom, to survive in sage and desert blooms
That seek to reach their fullest height,
The fragile flower fulfills its destiny
To grow above hostility,
Witness of the bond between infinity
And the enduring spark reborn within the restive voice
Breathing vigor into the ever borning essence of this land – 
Life’s signature complete, rising up from the desert’s will,
Springing from cold desolation’s womb,
Beacons in the endless wilderness,
To join the hand of genesis to life’s inheritance.
