Deserts Of New Mexic0

Sandstorm churning in my mind tonight,

driven by the wind of change.

And I know… it’s not that easy.

Drove a million miles and it is all the same,

spinning through the circles of my mind.

And it’s cold… it’s not that easy.

 

But there’s a feeling unlike any other thing I know -

on the deserts of New Mexico,

I see forever but it’s not… not as far as I can see.

Yeah, there’s a feeling unlike any other thing I know -

on the deserts of New Mexico.

I see forever but it’s not… not as far as I can see.

 

Sandstorm churning in my mind tonight,

thunder rolling out across the plain.

And I know… it’s not that easy.

Felt it wash away as all the rain came down,

wash away the memories from my mind.

Let it flow… it’s not that easy.

 

Cuz there’s a feeling unlike any other thing I know -

on the deserts of New Mexico

I see forever but it’s not… not as far as I can see.

Yeah, there’s a feeling unlike any other thing I know -

on the deserts of New Mexico

I see forever but it’s not…  not as far as I can see.

 

I see forever but it’s not… not as far as I can see.

Gorgeous poem Jeff. The twirling mind intertwined with the expansive New Mexico lands. Wow. (In New Mexico mountains, it feels like you can touch the sky.)
