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
