Sand glides the  delicate wilderness
As wandering rogue clouds scowl
At the waterless lands…

Where might The dance of water’s
sweet shower come to this solemn,
yet serene  abode where a brazen
though cautious  predator stealthily stalks
a sleek and shivering traveler of the night.

Poised,  the  dagger,  glinting
Against the moon’s light….dancing
In the eyes of a helpless prey,  Fear
Has brought the vein’s ice…Fear
Smiles into soon lifeless eyes as
A whisper softly echoes and sands
Glide a delicate wilderness…as
Wandering rogue clouds scowl
And the  last gasp of a helpless
prey careens  against canyon walls.

'A whisper softly echoes and sands
Glide a delicate wilderness'


... there is something in this thought that calls to me~
It just happens to like me very much~
