Ghost Ranch


Ghost Ranch
3:55 am
March 28, 2015

Watching the stars
Loose their veils
Of day and
Nestle into the
Darkness
Of the night.

Emerging
From the glowing
Mountains dark,
Long eared deer
Patrol the realm
And venture near.

Spotted. Alone.
 In my sky blue chair
They stare at me,
And I at them.
The laughter of delight
Rumbles up my throat.
They disappear.

They’ll come again
I know.
As lighting day
The sun will rise.

They’ll look to me
And wonder.
As darkness settles slowly down.
When will we meet again?
