On this day of giving and receiving
The greatest gift
Whether given or received
The greatest gift
Whether given or received
Is no different
Than any other day
Love
Is no different
Than any other day
Love
An oppressive weight
Waiting to fall
My mood becomes dark as the sky
Until I realize the low grey cover
Provides an atmospheric parasol
A gift to soften harsh desert sun
Diminish the heat of afternoon
An invitation to step out of the car
I breathe deeply in sage-scented air
While my mood becomes effervescent
As sage drifting in the desert breeze
