Pink and blue moments
encountered everywhere
shades of Picasso
certainly of O'Keeffe
rosy rocks, soil, adobe
bloom in random unity
startling azure flashes
streak past high-desert scrub
steep, pastel canyon walls
cavort with sapphire patches
freshly washed arroyos
pale-colored, sculpted cliffs
embrace joyously
amidst this cerulean feast
beauty everlasting glimpsed
while waiting with the ravens.
