Desert Scene


Desert Scene

These muted pastels
Color the most harsh
Landscapes on this planet

How can life be here?
Dry, dessicated, barren
Life will always find a way

Low gray clouds heavy
Pregnant with a misty rain
Backlit, glowing with sunlight

Rain, a false promise
Threat turned out to be idle
At least cloud provide cool shade

Shade, welcome respite
From what would be otherwise
A hot, dry, sunny desert

This is what comes of staring out a car window while rolling through central Nevada.
