“There are many people writing songs. That is absolutely wonderful.
Who knows, there may be some kid in diapers and he or she might succeed
in capturing in a few dozen words what great writers have spent years trying to say.
Just the right word in the right place with the right melody behind it and the right rhythm.
It might get around the world inch by inch, and people realize that this world is in danger,
that we’re in danger. That’s the way “This Land Is Your Land” got to be so well known.”

View from Wasson Peak, in the Tucson Mountains, looking towards the Tortolita Mountains,
Santa Catalina Mountains, and the Rincon Mountains.
Standing on a desert peak
you may feel like a
pebble of sand in a vast desert,
you are the entire desert in a pebble.

THE DESERT RANCHER ON SUNDAY
by Jeffrey Alfier
Winds release clouds from the tread of drifting
but buoy the arcs of loitering hawks.
It’s so quiet he swears he hears sunlight,
Chihuahuan sage blossoming in clusters.
Where his footfalls impel a warbler’s flight,
distant church bells summon their own echoes.
He kneels, presses palms to parched tractor ruts
that angle off into wind-runneled fields.
Thin soil keeps him for another season,
the ground made of nothing his hands won’t hold.
— from The Silver Birch Press Publication, The Wold Yearling, by Jeffrey C. Alfier

Rock At The Pass — Image by kenne
I will see you at the rock,
the rock at the pass —
not till you are lost,
then you will find me
by the river sitting on the rock.
You starting point will be
the mystery of my loneliness.
