haiku my heart

 

Desert Solitaire 

"May your trails be crooked, winding,  lonesome, dangerous,

leading to the most amazing view.

May your rivers flow without end,

meandering through pastoral valleys tinkling with bells,

past temples and castles and poets towers

into a dark primeval forest where tigers belch and monkeys howl,

through miasmal and mysterious swamps

and down into a desert of red rock,

  blue mesas, domes and pinnacles and grottos of endless stone,

and down again into a deep vast ancient unknown chasm

where bars of sunlight blaze on profiled cliffs,

here deer walk across the white sand beaches,

where storms come and go as lightning clangs upon the high crags,

where something strange and more beautiful and more full of wonder

then your deepest dreams waits for you-

beyond that next turning of the canyon walls."
