Desert Dawn

Oh apprehensive sky
All that I can see
Why do you deny?
The thirst that reigns in me
Your panoramic colors change
Softly hue the landscapes strange
And reach and reach do I
For you, oh apprehensive sky
Would you let me wither here?
Parched and pale as wheat
Dancing in the breezes sear
Languished in the heat
Some may see reluctance there
The show of thoughtless doubt
Yet left so deeply full to spare
The moist of most seeps out
Oh apprehensive sky
All that I can see
Held inside, flow waters shy
Cascade your rain on me
