River of Fire
Each evening
I return
To the river of fire;
Not the Cuyahoga,
Which does ignite,
Rather to the Bighorn.
Entranced at sunset,
I see the river
Change from crimson,
To magenta, to indigo,
Before being extinguished
By night.
Each evening
I have something special
To anticipate:
My return
To the river of fire.

For all those who love
Wild rivers and The Big Sky
