Davis Mountains

The morning breeze begins gently.
There is little urgency in the wind.
It carries no scent of sage or creosote,
only a whisper of serenity.

I don’t remember why I came here.
These mountains tell me not to worry.
We know time differently, they say.
We’ll keep watch while you are dreaming.
