This Land

 

"Haec Terra"

This Land is your land,

This Land is my land,

This Land is God's creative land,

Land of color,

Yet bleached by summer heat,

Easily torched by a match,

Easily inflamed by lightning,

Marred among sprinkled green bushes,

Bushes finely dotted,

Almost invisible across the mesa,

Atmospheric causation unknown,

What is known,

This Land is God's creative land!

[These thoughts come from driving from Phoenix to Flagstaff in AZ. Looking at scorched land from extreme summer heat and draught. Barren yet sparks of life sprinkled throughout the mesa]
