At times I see the parting waves laying flat across the desert crust deceiving layers to uncaring eyes promising water but delivering dust |

It's amazing how so few words can capture so much! Outstanding imagery, very powerful and intense, I'm sure all can relate to the pain in your poem. I loved the last line. This is your best by far Take care, Melissa The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams |
