Western Skies of Spring

We have waited long and now momentarily pause to lose ourselves in the Western skies of spring; our mellow looks follow them until dusky evening... ask the awe-captured painter how they seduce! Even the big mountains in the background seem blue, below them discover lovely bluebells that surely ensue beauty by waving in prairies dotted with yellow daisies; spend an afternoon in contemplating the red canyons! And resting beneath the motionless clouds, be dazzled by radiance: deep moments of awareness can stupefy; go back in time by imagining the same California sky that the old explorers saw heading West to seek gold. Walk farther towards the blue lake, wide and clear, it steals indigo from the above sky to look pretty; the cactus in full bloom proclaim the desert's glory once seen by young, wild cowboys who chased deer.
