Subject: Arizona Nights

The winds out on the desert, in that Arizona land
Caress terrain unmarred by man, fresh from Creation’s hand.
The rocks in Texas canyon, emit an eerie sound,
You’d almost think that Nana and his band were still around.

The desert’s filled with bones and dreams… and ghostly apparitions
You’re apt to see, will surely hear, with all the right conditions.
It takes a heart, at peace, alone: no lover of bright lights
Will even once appreciate the Arizona nights.

The waterholes still beckon, and extend the hope of life-
Ranchos, long abandoned, from the loss of kids and wife…
The only thing that’s out of place, in this forgotten land,
His presence an invasion, of course I speak of “man”.

Man in his presumption…”It all belongs to me!”
What of all the wildlife, that predates history?
What about the Indians: Apache and Dineh?
Mojave, Ute, and Pima, are they not to have a say?

I love to sit in darkness, far away from road and town-
And watch the Master’s palette, as the sun is sinking down.
And watch the stars a’twinkle, like a tapestry of light-
And peace pervades the stillness of those Arizona nights.
