Desert Raven

Fuzzy white haze in the asphalt was a lake

And the sand, it was a greyish shade of blue

Spirits held desire

While my eyes, they did admire

The evening that we only thought we knew

Further out to sea

I heard the birds' wings over me

The vibrations in the air to my ears

The sun was rising, slinking low

The day was saddled up to go

The desert's lonely nightfall disappear

The raven who flies through the desert sky

Is wiser than you or me

The birds have a peace

The stillness of sleep

And the desert raven, he has poetry

Close your eyes and fly to let the diamonds make the night

Crystal blue will turn to ruby red

The plants become a maze under the heaven's starry hazel

Pegasus, he gallops overhead

The buffalo at night, they follow close the river's edge while

Saffron slowly grows inside the caves

The starry minds of hyacinth, the moon below the sun's eclipse

The sandy canyon floats beyond the waves

The raven who flies through the desert sky

Is wiser than you or me

The birds have a peace

The stillness of sleep

And the desert raven, he has poetry
