The entire poem "Of Many Songs" is quite a tour de force- in length, in detail, in descriptive power. Really quite something. thanks Amy for one hell of a poem.
So powerful in your capture of the beauty and majesty of the desert. Breathtaking. You have such a sensitive but strong ability to share your exquisite view of your world.
"I have sung of saguaros that rise:
The joy and the rue of them,
The long silent keen of them."

Wow, thanks for the compliment, Weston! Also for quoting the exact lines I was most worried about, which just goes to show...!
"I have sung of the stars and their flight:
The slip and the stray of them,
The reach and the room of them,
The lilt and the play of them,
The gleam and the gloom of them."
A whole desert lifetime in this poem. Breathtaking.
So many thanks--there are so many wonderful things to write about here!

Many thanks,Lynda! I'm not being in any way flippant when I say it's a tremendous gift to be free to live here and share this place. :)
I understand how non-superficial that emotion is for you. Thank you so much for sharing.
Lots of love to you all.
