When you've lived out in the desert
with it's unrelenting heat
where thirst for simple pleasures
can nearly leave you beat;

where no matter where your eyes turn
the scen'ry never changes
though ever shifting sand dunes
move through many different ranges;

when you've been hit and blinded
by the whirling stormy sands
that strike so unexpected
and rage across the land;

when you’ve weathered unforgiving fury
while moving forward with no gain
then maybe you’ll appreciate
the soft warm summer rain.

Poetry is an expression of feelings. I do not write poems, but rather, the poems use me to write themselves.

So that you won't ever forget me.~

this poem was a pleasure to read aloud..
your cadence was a treat on the tongue

So good to see your name back here in the blue pages.

So it seems your saving grace was only saving face,
you thought he was wanting you...
but he was only wanting you to let him off the hook.
