A Saturday oasis
owls and crickets
murmur
with the frogs and
geese calls
a gentle desert
breeze across a star covered sky
with a modern man
made lake softly lit
by lighting that
shimmers over an unlikely life
a June high dessert
early morning sweetened
by air from a day
heated conifer feeding
from whose deeply
fissured barks that add
surface character to
tan colored sand
otherwise so flat
and opened to that distant mountain magic
a junipernus
fragrance of a leaf
whispering with the
breeze and morning calls
as dawn squeezes
night out and the day sneaks in
the Sunday sun glows
to the announcing
distance of wheels
droning to even more
distant trains
suddenly the morning
creatures begin a chorus
to the welcoming
light
that once quiet and
dark
painting those
shadows colors of morning
now painted by the
glowing light from the east
the dry water color
settles by the
gentle lights of man
and the shimmering
water he treasures
a cool breeze of a
desert morning in June
the new Sunday of a
Saturday oasis
