lady with the big blue eyes
like the pools at Havasu falls
glistening pockets of tears
carved from the wrath
of gravity and water
giving life
to the desert canyon
a person has to hike miles
of tricky switchbacks
to get to paradise
but the means
are worth the ends
breathtaking beauty
subtle strength
your heart drums truth
as I listen to the song
of your nourishment
to the valley,
I want to wrap my arms
around your waist
embrace
and protect you
from the world's
and my selfish ways
you are timeless
and priceless
I am but a fool
who will always admire
defend
and be in love with you
