ARROYO REPORT








resting by a babbling brook this afternoon
a more beautiful day unimaginable
how benevolent the world becomes

clinching against the snow's shock no longer
waters now thawed enough for barefoot explorations
birds and bugs sing in delight

warmth caressing fragrance from desert flora
juniper yes but the grasses too
still air brings sudden quiet

how can I be so lucky
doesn't anyone else realize the wonder here
swimming holes almost inviting enough to plunge

amidst warming sun
not yet overpowering with summer intensity
though certainly traveling coatless

rose quartz dreaming in sandstone crusts
heart awakens in desert grandeur

a casita on a distant ridge
I realize laughing

is my own
