Rebirth

cooler breezes settle deeper
      in her summer shoes
heavy steps push her troubled heart
      to echo in canyons beyond
faith whispers awake her broken
      spirit languishing, waiting
for
skies of a fairer blue
      washed clean of summer’s
          discordant dust
autumn arrives on winter’s tears
      as
desert songbirds rebirth and sing sweet songs 
      to heaven's grace
          once again
