Alone in the Desert
by Manas MokshaSagebrush in the shadows
Darkness uncovers its pungent smell
My skin is overcome by waves of night
caressing
soft and present
Thoughts digress
in an arbor of directions
and the darkness
slowly becomes my friend

| Posted by Mara Meade on 12/29/07 at 08:46 PM I see neither desert or garden, but a focus on what is growing and what it gives. Well focused, well expressed, well described. |
