New Mexico Fog

New Mexico Fog

New Mexico Fog you have enchanted me

as I walk along through this snowy sea

I have seen so far with your vistas clear

as the buttes thrust out from this cloudy sea

New Mexico Fog you’ve enchanted me

I’ve known your horizons Far away

but now I am in your misty way

your icy winds bite at my face

as I avoid your wintry chase

New Mexico Fog you have enchanted me

I can only dream what I cannot see

your pines and aspen towering tall

the fiery flames of a mountain fall

this desert land quiet and serene

I patiently wait for your alpine spring

your cold clear streams from their mountains nest

slow down below to their oceans quest

the Rio Grande far down below

I cannot see it’s shimmering flow

your pinon pine and sagebrush scent

it paints my mind with just a hint

your northern mountains

your southern plains

your wintry storms

your summer rains

your mountain peaks envelope me

though from your fog I cannot see

New Mexico Fog you’ve enchanted me

my mind unlocked with natures key

as I do wait so patiently

for your dawn to rise in its warm beauty

as the sky does clear

and the fog does lift

the Enchantment stays

as our sacred gift
