Pale Blue Prevails
Mike Van Portfleet
As the afternoon, summer sunshine prevails
Flowing, flickering, off the desert palms today
Washed out summer blue, hovers closely to the rails
I stand quietly, i absorb it all today
Pale blue prevails
First so quietly, then so violently, the train...
Roars so endlessly, on the desert floor today
Cypress green details, summer clouds prevail, then
Rain
I stand quietly, i absorb it all today
