symphony of extremes.
harsh desiccated air
softly scented by sage and creosote.
armored sentinels,
prickly green monoliths pierce sapphire sky
while lily-white moonflower
whispers dark secrets of divine femininity.
migrants exotic souls merge with native-born,
fiery spices tempered by smooth guacamole.
howling canines, rattling serpents
and beaded dragons mingle
with robotic surgeons, strip malls,
fast food, and silicon chips.
grand canyons, sky islands and snow-clad peaks
solemn witnesses to the searing desert mirage.
life juxtaposed with desolation.
mountain’s honor and desert integrity non-negotiable.
implicit song of humanity,
modernity stabilized by ancient roots.
nature’s celebration of swirling diversity and resilience.
