Red Rock rims
Stuttered with gnarled
And ancient green
Rise quickly,
Unlike the sun.

Jagged cut ravine
Winds willy nilly
Across desert floor
Waiting for rains
Which seldom come

And in its depths
A sidewinder
S tracks away
From my shadow

As dust bathed boots
Scarred and soft
Leave little behind
To note passage
Unexpected

Trekking through
Desert hearts can
Leave you burned
And thirsty…

So I drink
From your well
Before I travel on.

Kind of like the journey through life... Thank God for those wells along the way to make our journey a little bit more tolerable... A picturesque write, Ron.
