Passage
Day has passed ,night is soundless as death and dormant peace
night darkness, secret keep
morning calm spring ends summer begins
seasonal colors blend
Solar rays tans my flesh red as desert clay
in the same summer light
where lilies blossom and jaybirds play
Desert summer...feverish sweat and thirst
long walk home my regret never worse
passing vineyard meadows ,sun setting in the west
with nature's sustenance I'm blessed
Bittersweet saliva ...enjoying summer's reap
night returns...sunburn relief
the day's journey ends ,new wisdom I shall keep
until tomorrow's journey when the sun rises in the east
