orange and pink shoot across the desert sky
the sun is setting behind spirit mountain
the mighty colorado looking like a mirror
reflecting the last few second's of what will become
yesterday
caught up in this arid landscape wondering at it's
harsh beauty
the darkness slowly surrounds me as the stars come out
in the mohave skies they seem brighter
twinkling lights from heaven ?
glittering like diamonds
what a sight,
I lie in the sand and up I stare an for a brief moment
I forget my pain and all my scars
tomorrow isn't here yet
an yesterday is still yesterday
so what the hell ?
I'll just enjoy the last few moments of today
