Upon the Lips of Desert Dunes

Lift thine eyes unto the vast lands,

New beginnings, forest green.

Hearts asunder, joy composite.

Earth's refreshing nature scenes.

Effervescence, perks a bubbling brook,

Rainbow trout spawn in a creek.

Giant redwoods, dwarfed by mountains,

Jutting snow capped covered peaks.

Philharmonic jungle canopy,

Songbirds harmonize the dawn.

Mother doe grooms with affection,

Gently nuzzling her fawn.

Life's arteries, symmetrical,

Satin silk-screen sunlit leaf.

Blue green waters bathe baptismal,

Tropic islands, coral reefs.

Sierra waterfall cascading down,

Canyon rapids carve the land.

Banks embroidered with wildflowers,

Beaches outlined in white sand.

Newborn cubs begin life's journey,

Reassured with pampered paw.

Ruffled grouse puff peacock plumage,

Hatchlings nesting in the straw.

Pine cone scented woodlands,

Golden kerneled fields.

Ripened fruit from valley vineyards,

Cornucopia in yield.

Breathtaking painted orchids,

Brilliant butterflies in flight.

Nocturnal metamorphosis,

When dusk silhouettes the night.

An endless herd of caribou,

Flocks of fowl on feathered wing.

Migrating with the seasons,

Of winter, fall and spring.

Ice crystals melt in purity,

Rebirth inherently abounds.

A sense of oneness in discovering,

This plateau of higher ground.

Overwhelmed, revitalized,

By its grand magnificence.

Humbled by the spirit,

Of its raw significance.

Art's, poetic inspiration,

Irish meadows, English moors.

Jetties thrusting masculinity,

Around a cape of virgin shores.

Frozen tundra, scorched equator,

Polarized by sun and moon.

The fertile kiss of irrigation,

Upon the lips of desert dunes.
