poem submitted to "Serenity" poetry contest, Constance La France, sponsor, June 10, 2026
“Under a silver desert moon, serenity settles like soft dust upon the soul.”-quote by poetess A yucca lifts its pale-white spire, a moon-kissed torch the winds admire; its petals gleam like quiet fire, moonlit serenity sits quietly upon the desert floor. Bluebells bring delicate cobalt blooms, Indian paintbrush pours out crimson plumes; the barrel cactus defends the shifting dunes, moonlit serenity sits quietly upon the desert floor. A roadrunner glides through sagebrush~ a feathered glyph in midnight’s blush its shadow shapes a fleeting hush moonlit serenity sits quietly upon the desert floor A kit fox follows faint cool trails, its soft steps whisper through nighttime veils; its umbra flickers where moonlight pales, moonlit serenity sits quietly upon the desert floor. Gila monsters wander through the stone, its ancient colors softly shown; the desert echoes in hollow tone, moonlit serenity sits quietly upon the desert floor. The desert lifts its face to midnigt stars, cosmos close, no glow from lights or cars; the Milky Way spills near and far, moonlit serenity sits quietly upon the desert floor. Nighttime sky, graceful starlit lace, a silent watcher of this ancient place; its stillness holds in ageless grace, moonlit serenity sits quietly upon the desert floor.
