like a desert flower

The moon hangs still above the desert sky
I sit here upon a hill of shifting windswept sand
the desert heat that surrounded me in the arid sun
has turned to cool night air under the pale moon light
lost in the sound of my beating heart
love like a desert flower can die in vain
or bloom overnight with a kiss from the rain

Amazing Write

Sonnet like in form, in content extraordinary, the moods are solemnity, peacefullness, contemplative laced with a bit of wisdom to knit it into a universe of emotion. Balanced verbally, vocabulary selection exemplary. "...blooms overnight with a kiss from the sun..." blew me away. - okay I loved this one. Nuff said! ~ Lady A ~
