Utah Desert Sunset

Hold the beauty of the desert
it's wind cold 
pristine
blanketing wide expanse 
reckoning 
awake to drifted thoughts 
blown endless across plateaus silent far 
where distant dreams painted in the sand
draw close with longing 
like lips across a rose 
eager for the touch of soft deep colors 
well defined in quiet self repose
or the purple of the sky 
now stayed together 
the hazed sun orange red against.
