Mojave Sky Poem by Juan Olivarez

Mojave sky, cerulean blue,
The unforgiving sun shines down.
The complete lack of morning dew,
Upon the sandy ground.

Mojave sky, so clear at night,
That I can see for miles.
The stars up high shine ever bright,
I long to be out in your wilds.

Mojave sky, you kept my heart,
And with you it is still.
Cruel destiny forced us to part,
Oh how I miss your rocky hills.

Mojave sky, do you miss me,
Do you wonder where I roam?
Have you wondered where I could be,
Longing to find me at home?

Mojave sky, watch for me,
My presense you will feel.
When I walk again that vast dry sea,
Someday I will return to you, I will.
