Desert life, Deserted Life
The bee sipped the nectar
Off of the flower’s
Spring embellishment
The wind sang poetry
Carried it’s rhyme to
The brinks of my heart
While, Sand split the howling
Earth, which buckled under
My tousled knees
Life was abundant
Even within the realms
Of my small little world
The air lifted the blues
From my smithereening heart
Which had poured buckets
Of black coffee through me.
Living was not easy.
But after years
Of pitiful, painful song
Every tear that carried me
Frequently along the
Journey that had me
Stirring in throngs
Of monsters carrying me
To unknown directions
Today I have finally found
My one inspiration
That day the Desert Sang me lullabies
