beauty's sand deep

by Charlie Morgan

i shared the island with the Little Prince;
he was only going to be there a short while.

he had other worlds to visit, scrutinize, know;
off he trod: visiting one manifestation to another.

standing by him in the Sahara i'm wondering what he meant
when he said something about deserts being beautiful.

i tripped and fell head-first into a cool oasis;
after being parched, the water was beautiful.

then i saw what the Little Prince was talking about.

I had to read The Little Prince for French back in high school. Remembering that and reading this made me smile a bit. ;o)
