High Desert Night
Blazing
sun sets slowly
Into the western sky
God's
cooling breeze chills
The air on Mountains
high.
Dusk settles comfortably
Over the
desert floor
Blooming sage emits a soft
scent
Too hard to ignore.
A crackling campfire
Tosses embers
in the air
In sparkling blue and
Auburn and
gold: colors rare.
Stars begin to fill
The blueness of
the sky
Locked in your embrace,
We
reminisce, you and I.
The moon peeks over
The tops of
distant hills
You hold me close,
My heart
gets such a thrill.
Our love was born amidst the backdrop
Of the High Desert Night
As we transcend
our years together,
My soul takes
flight.
We pledged our love forty years ago
On a night just like this
We made our vows
to each other,
And sealed them with a kiss.
The world has changed,
But we have
not, together now we stand.
And pledge our love
for eternity,
You and me, hand in
hand.
