Heat lightning paints the African evening sky silent The light dampened by the bank of clouds light explosions trapped inside it The dust whipping my face warm and smooth Eyes set to the horizon with thoughts of you The distant flashes turn dust clouds from brown to blue Every instant I'm more and more captivated As I stand ever so still and patient Praying with the desert storm the winds will carry you to me Over sands and seas Praying it may bring me home into your embrace I sit still watching light flash from the heavens as the desert storm keeps me in this place Sands brush my face Praying a break in the storm a chance to see the moon A chance to see any glimpse of you...
