Home of the Blue Lizard, Desert Fox and A Host of Other Desert Dwellers

 

The desert is quiet

Thin blue lizards

Sit on rocks

Blend into their world

 

When it rains

Longing does not yield

Its grip on the heart

All is quiet except

 

For the rhythmic rain drops

Falling on the roof

Like the ticking of the clock

Later… when the sky is brilliant

 

Weather dry

Tail dusty

You will wonder about

The dark mood that colored

Your world

 

The Rio Grand

Still sleeping in its bed

A tune lilting on the wind

Ripples the surface

Speckled trout

Swim below
