mountaintop

on a desert mesa
coyotes howl at the moon 
rattlesnakes slither under rocks 
looking for warmth when it cools

scorpions saunter aimlessly 
looking for prey to sting 
mountain lions search for their next meal 
on turf where they are king 

every cactus, every living plant 
has brambles that cut when touched 
all of these dangers, and many more 
live on God's mountaintop
