Enchantment
Only begins to describe the
Resounding
Beauty of this land.
Landscapes resemble
Shape shifters
Morphing from a glorious prairie
To a sandy desert in an instant where tumble weeds
Frolic
Into gardens of yucca, cholla, and prickly pears
For miles and miles to the eye’s delight.
Lakes and rivers fulfill the role of
Mirrors
To reflect the incredible mountain-scapes
Encompassing
This vast spread of magnificence.
The Rio Grande
Concurrently
Displays itself in many cities, so one doesn’t forget its
Splendor
To the sustenance of the land.
The hot springs of Truth or Consequences
Engulfs
Its partakers with the natural warmth
And minerals to sufficiently sooth the soul.
Basalt lava flow
Blankets
The Valley of Fire in a never-ending sea
Of the midnight hue of the witching hour visibly
Contrasting
The cascading rocks against the shrubbery
With the native desert plants.
The Land of Enchantment
Summons
All who visit to repeatedly return
To the unexpected charm of the
Southwest.
