Life just happens that way
The Light was bright
The sun was high and mighty
And I was in awe.
Stairs we climbed
Were not on this plane
As the great Southwest
Came into view
Wall after wall
Room after room
And outdoors the party
Never slowed down.
It was a celebration
Dates figs figments
But no prunes or kumquats
Lots of colors lots of shades
And one Bright Shining Star
A never-ending Roman candle
Sparkling like great champagne
Overwhelmed
That so many
Heard her call
And saw the glory all around.
Vendors galore
And every store
Just fit.
And the band played on
And off.
Night rose and the moon
Gave rise to an intermission of song
That led to a grand finale
And then the cool down
The denouement
The breathing slowed
As we took in the majesty
And the immensity
The future holds
As we stilled ourselves
To receive having given all.
