winter on the mesa
on a clear day
you can feel forever
across the vistas of this place
where the landscape is
as stark yet as
delicate as the shadows
our souls cast on one another
under the coldly blazing
sun that has become
the embodiment of the
woman I am coming home to
knowing that I will have nothing
more to shake off
than the bitterness of the
cold Rocky Mountain wind
I do not long for the snow
for I love seeing what I can feel
when I feel never dreary
even when the sun goes
gloriously into the evening
winter will always bring me
in for the night
into you
always
and again
