Enchantment

I dream a dream of desert songs and an enchanted sky
Where shooting stars cross planet's path and catch my searching eye.
The gentlest breeze carries the scent of sage and cactus flower.
Coyotes speak in dialects in the moon's rising hour.
Enchantment blankets the mesa, and my heart, running fleet,
Slows to find the rhythm of the desert's living beat.
~~~
Welcome to my love affair with the desert.

The moon makes her spectacular entrance

Before the sun has fully set, the moon begins her climb.  She makes a grand entrance, springing from behind the pink mountains in all of her astral glory.  The night begins.  Life comes to the desert.  The coyotes greet her with abandon, joyous yips filling the night air.  Desert under full moon is full of magic.
