Southwestern Sky ( Delia J. Fry)

Southwestern Sky
« Delia J. Fry»

Colors of the Southwest sunset
Peeking through the shadows
A beautiful pastel palette
As the Southwest wind blows

Riders are anxious to get home
Images in the haze
Tracking through the muddy, clay loam
Blinking at the sun’s rays

How many miles have they traveled
And how many sunsets
And all the paths that were brambled
Sleeping on worn blankets

Riders slowly inching their way
Windy days and cold nights
Wanting to camp and end the day
‘Neath stars, Southwestern lights
