Early morning quiet still
I watch and wait patient
Sky black dotted with sparkling light
Air clear sharp with each breath
Slowly across the desert floor
Across the sagebrush gritty dirt
Like rippling fire sweeping far
Morning sun rays spread
Kaleidoscope of carmine color
Creeping slowly toward the hills
Suddenly like God's great switch
Shadows move dissipate in grace
The mountains glow like flares
So many shades of red hue
Mother nature at her peak
Tis only but a passing moment
Well worth this man's wait
The image now emblazoned well
In the gypsy memory bank
