“Desert Rose”

So warmly stands the shifting sands
as far as one may see
and ancient runes beneath soft dunes
may lie so silently

Out in the glare a wonder rare
in gentle sweet repose
outshines the grand Nevada land
a lovely Desert Rose

Images conjured up so vast in two stanzas of perfect poetry.

First Stanza brought echo's of Shelly's Ozymandus to me....

The moment created this second, is a moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

Ah MoonShadow...enchanting indeed.
Now I'm going to have to look for a picture of one.

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

   Ivor... indeed I am a fan of Shelly and 'Ozymandus' is one of my favorites.

   LeeJ... This humble poem pales in the shadow of the beauty of the Desert Rose.

   Nancy... there are indeed three.. the floral Adeniumob... the geological Gypsum... yet the most beautiful of them all is the Desert Rose with a soul.

   Lady Kate... I am sure you can.

   RDB... You may if you are as blessed as I have been.

   Thank you all for lovely respons the shared glow is rewarding.

For all of the adversity
a desert can give?

She will still spill beauty

and we are most fortunate
if we are but
an observer.

Well done, MS.
