Running, panting, I would sprint to the alfalfa field on windy summer days just to feel the blistering heat blowing across my cheeks like an oven cracked open.
Maybe I will live in the desert.
In the sandy dunes and hot wind I will find myself and explore my thoughts and revive my faith.
With sand in my shoes and cracks on my hands I will walk in Christ's footsteps and drink from an oasis.
I will wander into the desert, murmuring, "It is late, it is late, it is so very late..."
And then I will wait in the cold for the next day when I will find relief in the hot air rolling over the dunes.
And then I will sweat.
It's a curious affect, to love hot air O' wind blow Find me an oasis, carry me to the water. My mouth is so, so dry.
