looking out over the vast colored carpet of flowering cactus
trying to decide where to stop and experience the moment
stunned by the amount of desert life erupting with visual excitement
just when you assume it can not get better or more exquisite
BOOM, it does....  
the DESERT is on POINT

instinctively, the scorpion stung the frog
how do you stop anything from being what it is
can you bring about changes that go against individuality
personal virtues in all of us, are steadfast
be who or what you are
let others be who or what they are
swim or sting, it's who you are
be

enchanting is the word
stone formations with hypnotic mystery
formations that only the mother can create
mother earth will nourish all elements she produces
hiding past creatures in ornamental rock with windswept colors
colors so exposed to the surrounding landscape
what do you see

we all have a caterpillar somewhere inside
that spirit that wants, but it just can't decide
there are roadblocks and hurdles that get in the way
where will your caterpillar take you today
what will you be when the caterpillar selects
we all hope for the Monarch, DO we get, what we get

where is the end
everyone has their own
everything is included
flowing waters will find their end and last droplet
winged beasts will land one last time
clouds in the heavens will rain no more
where is the end
fish in all waters will complete their last swim
insects crawling and buzzing about will settle in at last
wheat, corn, and all plants can't take the lack of liquid
mountain peaks, rolling hills, great vast plains hear nothing
where is the end
is there an end
waters may never find that last drop
beasts of the air may never land
rain will always be
fish swimming in the waters will be there
all plants will drink in the moisture of the land
mountain peaks, rolling hills, great vast plains will be listening
we can stop the end
we ALL can stop the end...
