New Poem - Desert Night



Desert Night

smiling wind
in my face
as sky darkens
to a violet glow
on the horizon

so little time
between sun's fall
and darkness settling
quiet as snow
over the desert

bats dart overhead
and I swear
the coyotes
are only steps
behind us

for these brief
moments, my hand
in hers, everything
makes sense
and I am home
