The desert stole my heart
I probably would not last long.
The formations,
The rocks,
The plants and animals
moved me.
I was humbled by my summer trip last year
and certainly want to explore more.
Deserts for Poetry Jam
Arid desert lands
Scorch me
Enrich me
Envelope me
With heat and wonder
The desert nourishes my soul
Shows me her history
In colors and formations
Lost in the beauty
I reach for the sky
The mystery of difference
Excites me
I wonder
If I'd survive
Thrive
Or die
Here
Becoming just another bone
O'Keeffe would want to paint.
I smile
In wonderment
And
Simply enjoy the view.
