Dusk in the Desert

Dusk in the desert where quietness lies
Indigo blue under lavender skies
Young Golden Eagle in breeze of the night
Last beams of sunlight on wings tipped in white

Sun slowly drifts now beyond mountain’s ledge
Bright golden beams fanning out from the edge
Canyon is silent, the heavens are strewn
With bright little stars and a glorious moon

Skies light the footpath of silvery sand
That changes at dawn to the color of tan
And morning will also bring joy to the eyes
Mountains of purple beneath crimson skies

So very few flowers, yet beauty unfurled
In this ever surprisingl and colorful world
I walked in the desert, alone in the sand
God stood there beside me with paintbrush in hand

To read such beauty, described with such beauty
