Life Dreams / Lucid Living (c) 2003
Autumn in New Mexico
Golden curtains shimmer down
to ground and grass
through high-arcing, brilliant double rainbows,
children of the rain
and setting sun
The air is tangible,
yellow, fragrant
Wind's luxurious fingers
stroke the trailing green tresses
of swaying desert willows
while orchestral cicadas
play their evening waltzes
on winged, electric instruments
And night draws down its starlit shades
on nature's forever unfinished symphony
to ground and grass
through high-arcing, brilliant double rainbows,
children of the rain
and setting sun
The air is tangible,
yellow, fragrant
Wind's luxurious fingers
stroke the trailing green tresses
of swaying desert willows
while orchestral cicadas
play their evening waltzes
on winged, electric instruments
And night draws down its starlit shades
on nature's forever unfinished symphony
