Contemplating a desert flower As she rises at the break of day Invigorated by nocturnal repose Nodding gracefully to the dawning sun And warmly welcoming its rays as they envelop her fullness Dry in the drought of a barren land But relishing every drop to be had Exuberantly alone Untroubled in her torrid abode No trace of lamentation No yearning for a shaded garden Serenely expressing her beauty by being all she is and was ever meant to be Blossoming nowhere Belonging to no-one Bound by nothing Rejoicing in her essence Within the oneness of creation
