The Longer Shadow Cast

Unto the evening

Of reds and purple

Skies of the desert

On fire with evening light

Descending

The longer the shadow cast

Brings in the evening air

Cool and crisp as the

Desert night

Cold upon the relinquished light

Take me to the desert near the

Camelback trail

The world at large

Could only bring this beauty

Upon my eyes to see

The Praying Monk

The light of the desert morning

Crisp in it’s falls ease

Upon the praying monk rock

Where the eye sees

Over the edge of Camelback and through

The evening red

The patient await

Tomorrow’s other fate

Upon the rock of consistency

There is a line of our hearts

Direct to the sky

Upon this line

We must hold hope

Of another desert night
