If I'm the desert
You're the wind-
Shape me
As you wander along.
Take your time
Play me your song
These thoughts in my mind
They're an oasis
I end up there
When I lose my paces
My palms
They shake when you go by
And out emerge little butterflies
That float about and get tossed by you
Over the sand
And through my dunes
I’ll tell every secret
Dust off my ruins
Come and dance with me
I live for your tunes
When the spring is nigh
Let dust devils arise
At midnight while coyotes cry
Float cacti' flowers
Through my hills
Shake the prickly pear
Leave me littered with their quills
When you're gone
Out playing on the sea
Do you miss me?
You're my heartbeat
Save me my pleas
Sweep me up off my knees
Swing me around
With your whistling sound
And lift red-tailed hawks off the ground
Fly small airplanes through the clouds

A cute, old poem I wrote in 2020- just publishing now!
