This morning, God’s golden snow fell in the desert

Golden snow on sand — personal photo

The smell of sun’s light dries out morning dew
As it moves on to brighten desert hue

Sun light glowing small fairy plants bright
Shines on threads of glass spun by spiders
all night
Gleams bright red on Pyrrhuloxia feathers
And glows light pink thru many a cholla rose

Glowing, blowing, yellow blossoms all around —
In Mesquites’ fuzzy sunny bloom
Through Cat Claw pale yellow plume
Spotlighting Brittlebush glory

And gleaming grayly on Gnatcatcher wing
Then tickling the snowballs of Creosote’s bush
And extolling the beauty of Paloverde’s gold

This morning, God’s golden snow
fell in the desert
