A Desert Song

The stars they sparkle,
oh so bright,
and the moon shines as,
the noon day light.
Coyotes howl,
making old dogs bay,
and Ravens fly,
 at break of day.
The flutter of Quail wherever you go,
send rabbits running to and fro.
Desert Tortoise rambles on and on,
the midday heat will soon be gone.
Our children play with lizards here,
and now and then they see a deer.
Hawks and Buzzards circle high,
while sunsets linger in the sky.
So like brothers we must stand,
to live,
to work,
to save our land.

-W. Allen - 1997
