Your thunderheads climb the glowing sky,
in a desert reflecting warm colors of sunset.
You bring sacredness this summer’s night
to enkindle a lonesome dreamer.
Desert storm of beauty,
Your clouds are breathtaking.
Your rain visits arid wastelands.
Your thunder echoes
over painted sandstone labyrinths
over cedar berried trees
over my sandblasted tent.
Your savor is intense.
Your sheer force humbles.
Your cloud juice is my soul food.
You’re my greatest friend!
