midnight moon

full moon at its apex in the midnight sky the milky way sparkles in the heavens a single ragged mountain out in front scottsdale, arizona lies behind desert shrubs scattered here and there a saguaro cactus home for a family of birds a pack of coyotes howling in unison at the moon looking up I understand we would howl too if we spent some quiet time in this lonesome desert the bright white ball in the midnight sky illuminates objects with an eerie glow walking alone in the desert tonight it’s residents wonder how this stranger could have ever gotten lost January 21, 1997 Paradise Valley, AZ

Wow, what a scenery painted! Thank you!

a pack of coyotes
howling in unison at the moon
looking up I understand
we would howl too
if we spent some quiet time
in this lonesome desert


Great!
