Poems
May 2016
The desert
A searing desert will bear no life
With the raging fires of each day
And the poisons of the moving night
Will maim all that dare to stay
The little life that takes hold is hard
Unforgiving to the passing eye
The treasures inside fiercely guarded
By designs meant to hurt, to ****, to die
Time will pass uneventfully,
As brave souls dare to cross
Meeting with mortality
Finding sadness, keeping loss
But as swiftly as the desert claims life
The heavy rains begin to fall
Softening the sun baked earth
And strengthening the haunting call
Those that have watched
Each life be taken
Will sit in silence
As the earth is shaken
A lone stranger appears
Stepping light, touch soft
He sings to the desert
That appears still, and aloft
He carries no troubles
And gives all that he has
For he wants no trouble
Only to pass
As the man sings on,
And things peer from their holes
The desert is teeming
With lost and found souls
The rain and the song
Have brought forth an end
To the pain and the suffering
And has started to mend
The desert once more
Forgives and forgets
Gives life and joy
And pays back its debts
A lone man
And a rainy day
Returns the happiness
To the cold and grey
