Trail’s end,
journey done,
land devoid, arid, and barren.
Pause. Deep breath. Immersed.
Flowing life,
clinging marsh,
carved precipice.
Humming dragons,
chittering Junco,
chalky flood wall.
Fire ants toiling,
fuzzy worms moving,
phacelia and monkey flower.

Sun warms,
cooling breeze,
aromatic sage.
Pause. Deep breath. Immersed.
Trail’s end,
spirit washed,
into the province of life.
