Desert Dreams and a Songbird
Melodies traversing upon
Winds of the desert painting
Misplaced beauty of Saguaro’s
Dancing with dust devil’s
Sagebrush songs echoing off
Mountainous mirage of valley
Floors endlessly stretching past
Horizon bleeding red clay
Strewing the endless highway
Going nowhere coming back
Against the curtain of heat
Cooling with the light touch
Of rain disappearing in the sands
Ever moving never changing
Clouding storms covering tracks
I followed to find your voice
Hidden in the desolate gardens
Saturated with fervent life
Unseen flitting about my eyes
Singing in cactus blooms
Flowering for the moment
Passing with a breath
Expelling a hundred degree
Harmony from the hidden
Little desert songbird calling
Past the boundaries set
Bringing me back to where
I have always been
