a hot dry wind

a hot dry wind
blew in today

it scortched the ground
turned it to clay

it torched the water
burned it away

in an explosion the air
just wasn't there

all i could do
was stand and stare

a hot dry wind
blew in today

nothing i could say
no matter how hard i did pray

our Love would not stay
You walked away

Oh this is so well written and the imagery of cracking soil...just so harsh and real...like it is bleeding dust in some way...wow I think that would be my next poem "Bleeding Dust" what you think? Interested doing it in collaboration with me? I am busy with a painting that could complement this well!! Let me know!!

The ending of your poem is very touching....hey remember you are loved by this ol'Gal too OKAY!!

Love Tinka
