Sand touches lightly across my face
This wind surely brings with it a storm
Ancients dance to vision’s delight
As this evening carries in it a song
Silent electric touch in the desert sky
Adds illusion to my eyes weary picture
Tomorrow the birds in the acacia trees
Will wake to water with a vengeance
God has listened to the ancients call again
Dusty rivers soon run then nourish land
Happy wildlife, plants and tired man live
Just perhaps another day in this dead desert
Dry land yet beautiful cactus sunrises
Seemingly they tease the human mind’s eye
But surely within the coyotes distant song
You’ll hear its been way, way too dry……..

So very, very nice, achieves pairing the relaxing with the active in a sense. I can smell the air again in it traveling on my first trip down the Salt River Canyon to the desert floor to Phoenix, the very scent of dryness in words...you stirred the senses...Jerry
Stunning write and the photograph your words captured
The beauty of dead desert and the windy sand storms
And tumble weeds!
I do live in the desert and love it!!
Brilliant write my friend!

May the world always give you its softest gifts,
