I'll just enjoy the last few moments of today

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

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I'm out here in the Mohave Desert visiting My Mother who's in the processes of Chemo treatments  ( Pancreas Cancer ) I'm marveling at Her intestinal fortitude as She deals with it ( Now I realize  where I got My Attitude an Stubbornness )and The Beauty I find hid in this place where none should be !
