Reviving the Sands of Hope
Posted: July 30th, 2011, 6:20 pm
Summer days in the desert South,
my skin was burned, kissed and browned,
and I meshed with colors of adobe houses,
just as the sunset hits.
I would sit quiet as a mouse,
watch the orange rays turn pink,
bask in the end of warmth
before the very last bit of light escaped.
Before I leave the darkness birthed,
a single star appears over-head,
bringing color again to the Earth,
reviving the sands of hope.
