***In the desert
dewdrops are sparkling over cactus thorn
like icy diamonds this Southwestern morn***
~^~
***warm winds through the Mesquite Trees
the sweet smell of sage lingers in the breeze***
~^~
***the desert Sun climbs past invisible clouds
the burning sky melts the misty wet shroud***
~^~
***the mercury is high but the air is dry
somewhere under the tangerine sky
life in Arizona***
