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
