Shadows lengthen in gathering gloom,
As jackrabbits flee a coyote doom.
Lightning flares 'cross darkened sky
As great horned owl takes wing to fly.
Red rock of Sedona gleams a sullen shade
As hikers walk trails Sinagua once made.
Mountain lion prowl steep rocky slopes
As a gila monster slowly gropes.
Crumbling ruins of ancient abode,
Inhabited now only by a horned toad;
Wild javelinea roam the desert land,
While rattlesnakes lurk 'midst burning sand.
Whitetail deer roam forests of pine
Near a long abandoned copper mine.
Roadrunner hunts food, be it scorpion or snake,
As desert sun the basin does bake.
A land of extremes, often rugged and bleak,
From the Valley of the Sun to Kachina Peaks.
Around each new bend, stark beauty llies,
Here 'neath Arizona sunlit skies.
As jackrabbits flee a coyote doom.
Lightning flares 'cross darkened sky
As great horned owl takes wing to fly.
Red rock of Sedona gleams a sullen shade
As hikers walk trails Sinagua once made.
Mountain lion prowl steep rocky slopes
As a gila monster slowly gropes.
Crumbling ruins of ancient abode,
Inhabited now only by a horned toad;
Wild javelinea roam the desert land,
While rattlesnakes lurk 'midst burning sand.
Whitetail deer roam forests of pine
Near a long abandoned copper mine.
Roadrunner hunts food, be it scorpion or snake,
As desert sun the basin does bake.
A land of extremes, often rugged and bleak,
From the Valley of the Sun to Kachina Peaks.
Around each new bend, stark beauty llies,
Here 'neath Arizona sunlit skies.
