  5. Desert DawningAnne JohnsonThe desert awakes with a whispered sigh. A jackrabbit scurries through the brushwhile far above a raven cries.Dawn breaks from a frozen hush.A jackrabbit scurries through the brushbent on finding food to eat.Dawn breaks from a frozen hush,the cold chill of the night retreats.Bent on finding food to eat,a roadrunner darts across the sand.The cold chill of the night retreatsas fiery warmth fills the land. A roadrunner darts across the sandin the shadow of a towering saguaro.As fiery warmth fills the landthe cactus wren peers at a beetle below. In the shadow of a towering saguaroa bevy of quail march by in a line.The cactus wren peers at a beetle below.On a sunny rock the lizard reclines.A bevy of quail march by in a linewhile far above a raven cries.On a sunny rock the lizard reclines.The desert awakes with a whispered sigh.
