Desolate Beauty

The beauty of the desert
Is not a masterful art piece
But a majestic platform
Of raw beauty and depth
With an unsatisfied thirst
And a hardened heart
That rivals only time
As the weather beaten face of an old man
Tells this story from atop the highest mountain
Wise in his years
Mature beyond comprehension
The over looker and protector of this land
Occasionally blowing off the dust
Of a desolate land
As if cleaning an antique lamp
Making a wish
That the mountains of our forefathers
Form a circle of protection
For the children of hope
Honoring the pact from years long past
Until the last grains of sand
Find the bottom of the abyss
That is eternity
And therefore an end to a new beginning

Marcel
