Split Range by Ivan Guerrero Najera

Split Range

The wind whistles hello
And the sun beams without hesitation

The plains show you nowhere to go
And the clouds float far from your attention

The desert houses so much more
Than the sand and this city of ghosts

The calm that is after the storm
Embraces the needy the most

This place is a passage of will
A purge of all that was before you

A crossing while you're standing still
And a promise once meant to allure you

Build a person from all of the pieces
That crumble in front of your eyes

From the truth and the family ties
That bind you against all this change

But take in all the beauty this place
Feeds your mind
At the foot of this glorious split range
