i left my new home
my chilly, wintry prairie home
the cold of winter,
the colours of winter
of snow
and tree trunks
and pale milky-blue skies
i went back to a previous home
a desert home
the colours of the desert
of cactus
and mountains
and flowers
and dramatic skies
of brightly-coloured paint
the colours blend with
the textures of the desert
of adobe walls
and wrought-iron gates
when i come back home
to my chilly wintry prairie home,
i will bring these colours
to my chilly wintry prairie home,
i will bring these colours
and textures
back with me
Lovely! I love the sentiment. Arizona sounds wonderful right now.
ReplyDeletegorgeous shot. Love the contrast between the dark desert and the softnes of the sky.
