Morning
1.
Humans
trespassing
Confused
in the moonless night
Cold
in the morning
2.
A
narrow window
Sunrise
in the morning, blush
Lost,
and looking back
3.
Soft
color of morning
Red
and orange and dusty pink
Blush
on the mountain
4.
Spring
in the desert
Morning
dew lingers, a feast
Moisture
in morning
5.
Live
with compassion
I
see the way ahead, bright
The
restful morning
6.
Light,
to ease the heart
Light,
to live by, free from fear
Light,
I am wanting
Place
7.
Desert,
hot and wild
Pure
as an empty promise
The
great wide open
8.
Highway
sixty-two
A
plateau above Palm Springs
The
Joshua tree
9.
Fragile
oasis
A
living cathedral sings
Brief,
shining and green
10.
The
radio voice
Takes
me down the road to you
In
Twenty-nine Palms
11.
A
cult in Amboy
Angels
in Death Valley, stir
The
Manson family
12.
The
Mojave heat
Wind
lifting sand off the ground
Fills
the air with grit
13.
The
lovely desert
Transient,
passing through you
The
lonely vagrant
Heat and Fire, Desire
14.
One
hundred-fifteen
Car
windows blown out at noon
Expanding
in heat
15.
Reason
is a fire
The
burning spirit fills me
Melts
the golden calf
16.
Doubt,
I cannot breathe
Oxygen,
the fire consumes
Choking,
sputtering, will
17.
Waves,
dry and burning
Circumstance,
the barren field
Fears,
we are ruled by
18.
Life’s
fragility
We
are equals, and made free
In
the desert heat
19.
The
spirit is fire
A
pillar lighting the night
The
dynamic life
20.
Feel
the heat of you
Your
desert heart, dusty, cold
Desolate,
a fool
21.
The
dirty heart, hot
Desires
of a lover, sweet
Hard
and demanding
22.
Love’s
desperate fool
Velvet
kiss, a touch of fire,
Crazy,
cold smile, you
23.
The
passionate life
Hot,
driven through the wonders
Mountains,
cut by wind
Wind and Wanting
24.
Desert
wind blowing
Standing
in the face of it
Staring
at the sun
25.
Hope,
drives us forward
Against
the despairing wind
The
mirage of doom
26.
The
ephemeral
Purpose
is a bright mirage
Wandering
in thirst
27.
Vision
has a price
Alone,
we are not ourselves
Broken,
incomplete
28.
Persist
in delusion
In
world that never were, truths
I
will not give up
29.
Wisdom’s
soft approach
Un-raveller
of conflict
Moving
with the wind
30.
The
storm passes through
Blowing
sand, each grain, a knife
Stinging
as it cuts
Dust, Dirt and Death
31.
Logic
is a coin
The
dessert will not tender
Negotiable
truths
32.
Drifting
with the sand
Every
grain, a memory
Alone
and listing
33.
We
are dust, dirty
Spirits
fluttering weakly
Diffused
in dry air
34.
A
jail without walls
The
lost self, shattered, dissolved
A
walking spirit
35.
Each
step leaves a trace
Reminders
of who we are
Walking
to the grave
36.
Hand
on the lever
The
embrace of the condemned
The
fallen lover
37.
Curing
in the dry air
One
and all, we are the same
Swinging
in heat
38.
The
fate of us all
A
brief life, Death’s certainty
Free
in the moment
Evening
39.
Touch
the falling sun
Fingers
of light, brush the sky
Bursting,
red, and orange
40.
Starlight
and, love lit
The
way, a path through the storm
The
shelter of hope
