As I set off today to ramble through
To wander in a land pristine I hardly knew
Colors breathe caress the warmth of living
Always on alert for those that fall, so unforgiving
Her quiet golden elegance cheered by Saguaran hillside choirs
Creatures so diverse their resilience our inspires
Praising above and all around the hidden sky
Patient for her time she waits to meet my eye
I stop in silent tribute as my tears begin to flow
Spirits lead my fervent prayer that our Sonora could e’er be so
Kneeling there I bowed my head in reverential awe
This frail gesture unseen except by stars, they each saw
As the sky began to blink unloosing boundless blue unbound
This day took me as its own as by my loins the desert crowned.
