The desert's melodic call <br />echoes forever <br />off umber canyon walls. <br />The fiery sun in hymn <br />at a high-fever pitch <br />joins right in. <br />The cougar, coyote, scorpion, rattler and javelina too <br />all stand dazzled by the music <br />floating upon the vast empyreal blue. <br />Out there even the air <br />dances and prances <br />without a worldly care. <br />It all begs: Come see, listen and hear, <br />let this ineluctable song <br />bring you in, and draw you near. <br />Once the melody your heart has found <br />nothing else will ever satisfy, <br />no, not another sound. <br />So come out and sing along, <br />let your soul be caressed <br />by the beautiful and mysterious desert song.<br /><br />Smoky Hoss<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-of-the-desert/
