Come, and let’s climb to the vanilla peak
Of a chocolate and strawberry mountain;
A scattering of clouds and dreams a-swirl
In a fiery sky, soaring Night Hawks speak!
Heralds night-fall, when sun is forgotten;
Moon-lit, twinkling starry worlds unfurl;
Mirror tempers light, illumination weak;
Ebony shadows blanketing the mountain;
Stage is set for lone coyote’s howl to curl!
A quintessential silhouette, painters seek
In creating southwestern lore’s fountain,
Of youth and mystery; paint brush whirl!
To capture the dawn’s first light to peek;
Redeem day from night, lift black curtain!
A Neapolitan world reborn; Desert pearl!
Opalescent dust sun-baths; light to tweak
In visual display, desert Eden is begotten!
Scattered dream clouds and a sun-lit twirl,
Sets fire to red clay alkaline vanilla peak;
Joy, a cherry atop a Neapolitan mountain!
A beautiful description of God’s creation

Only, in my heart. It has to be at least, 75 degrees before I can be outside. It’s cool in the SW this winter.:0)Writing about being out helps me feel better.
