Melody

The Sonoran Desert landscape near Ajo, Arizona
 

On which page is it written,
In which trustworthy book,
That barren places warrant
No glance or second look?
 
The unassuming places
Hold more than eye can see,
And for those with ears to hear,
A soulful melody.

Sky on Friday: Abandoned

May 28

 

Abandoned farmhouse—
only rats and lizards peer
from broken windows;
sunburned farmer and his wife
sold their mules, left plow to rust…
