WOW THIS WAS A TUFF ONE FOR ME. IN THE DESERT THERE YOU SEE AT FIRST NOTHING THEN AFTER YOU BEEN THERE AWHILE YOU SEE THINGS YOU NEVER IMAGINE. FLOSSIE
You are my destiny
I will go far and near
Just to be with you
For your love is
Oh so very deep
It drives me crazy
When um not with you
I cry a river
Every time you walk away
I hate to see you go
Knowin all to well that
There is another
Lover some where
Just waiting for you
Yet still in love with you
Paradise
Is where I be
When um with you
The moon and the ski
Please send me
Some one to love
Side by side
We will be
Just the you and me
So in love to be
You are my every thing
Stand by me never leave
There is always
Some one breakin my heart
But you are my destiny
The only one I see
With love to strong
Yet you belong to another
And pain do be deep
Deeper than the sea are ocean blue
Wider then the desert deep are mountain high
Still you are my destiny
And I do love our deserts — especially in the Spring. Will be sleeping on this and return tomorrow. Such a beautiful theme and challenge and pieces already posted. Happy Monday and Big Hugs from Southern California and within driving distance of some beautiful desert areas.
But in the meantime . . . . A piece written last year
and inspired by one of Sharonlee’s beautiful art pieces.
BENEATH A DESERT SKY
Somewhere
between the Earth
and Heaven’s gate,
desert columns reach
toward a crystal blue sky,
mountains rising
from the desert floor
standing tall to meet
the glorious springtime sun.
Cactus arms outstretched and tall
and flourishing under the desert sun,
welcome me as I marvel at the scene,
as wildflowers bloom and flourish,
crystalline raindrops quenching the thirst
of the desert’s sandy floor,
unmarred by human feet,
as pristine and majestic as before;
sand-swept paintings
as far as the eye can see,
brilliant hues and subtle tones
wondrous brushstrokes
God’s canvas to behold.
Desert columns
reaching toward the sky,
mysteries hidden
within their sandstone walls,
as I can only imagine,
viewing them from afar,
what they have witnessed
as they breathe
a collective
desert sigh.
Brilliant hues
and subtle tones,
God’s wondrous canvas
to behold;
columns reaching
toward the desert sky;
mysteries hidden within
stark sandstone walls
infused with nuances
of color muted and bold,
shades and patterns
God’s rainbowed brushstrokes
sweep boldly before my eyes
and beneath my feet,
rich earthen tones,
auburn, golden, and rust.
And within the blistering heat
of this noonday Mojave sun,
red rocks stand tall
to meet the crystal blue,
not a cloud in sight,
not a a shade tree in view
as mile-long trains
creep silently
across the desert floor,
trails across the sand
unstirred by human feet.
And on this Mojave Desert afternoon,
hushed silence crowds out
the clamor of the day before,
the freeways,
the noise,
the sensory assault
as on this day
I hear only the desert,
silent but for the sound
of my own thoughts.
And I can finally see
beyond the mountains
and catch a glimpse
of what lies ahead
tomorrow.
thanks for the kind invite…beautiful place to be

“Oh that the desert were my dwelling place,
With only one fair spirit for my minster.
That I might forget the human race,
And hating no one, love her only.”
~Lord Byron~
Hot sands
Blown by the
Violent winds within
My mind
My soul
Lips parched
By an unforgiving sun
Burning deeply
Thoughts of you
A mirage of what was
Never to again be
Fades into waves of heat
As I awake
From my unconscious state
Dreaming of you
My desert flower
Ok this is mine finally giggles I do hope all of you like it..
The desert is like a huge excellent memory for me.. so beautiful
as your your Magical writes
I need a lightTo open the pathI need a lightTo extinguish the gloomI’m not strong enough to save myselfI need a light to rescue my spiritI think I can see it nowThrough the clouds of duskThe light that I need to destroy the darkThat light is youPlease, save me!Extend your hand to my heartPierce the shadows with the shining rays of your light..
Thank You all of you! You can still write..
And bring the writes on… it does not close
Until whenever.
Really enjoyed your Inspirational pieces
Full of Magic and tales… most Of them
Felt like I was right there.. or watching
A movie.. Yeah all of you sure do have
That special sumptin.. through your desert!
Love and Light
And Thank You!
J.T. and MM
being as i live in a desert i will say all the writes are awsome
DESERT
BEAUTIFUL IN THE SPRING
CACTUS BLOOM AND
HAWKS SWAY AND SWING
WINTER BRINGS
COLD MOUNTAIN SPRINGS
TO REFRESH THE DESERT DRY
AND IN THE SUMMER
ITS SO HOT
MAKES YOU WANT TO CRY
BUT YOU CANT
BECAUSE YOUR EYES ARE TOO DRY
ITS FALL, THATS AMAZING
AS WELL
BUT THE EVENINGS THEN
WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN
GET COLD AS HELL
NOW LET ME TELL YOU THIS
IT EVEN THREW THE DEVIL AMISS
FOR WHEN HE CAME
TO ARIZONA
HE LEFT PHOENIX
SAYING THIS,
I’M GOING BACK
HOME
PHOENIX IS HOTTER THAN HELL :love:

Hello JT and Mary what a lovely Blog you have here ta night … Hugs Now :love: :love:
And I do love our deserts — especially in the Spring. Will be sleeping on this and return tomorrow. Such a beautiful theme and challenge and pieces already posted. Happy Monday and Big Hugs from Southern California and within driving distance of some beautiful desert areas.
But in the meantime . . . . A piece written last year

Great theme for the winter-time blues!
Here’s one from the archives that fits today’s theme…
This write is kinda a reversed version of this song:
Ok this is mine finally giggles I do hope all of you like it..
The desert is like a huge excellent memory for me.. so beautiful
as your your Magical writes
I need a lightTo open the pathI need a lightTo extinguish the gloomI’m not strong enough to save myselfI need a light to rescue my spiritI think I can see it nowThrough the clouds of duskThe light that I need to destroy the darkThat light is youPlease, save me!Extend your hand to my heartPierce the shadows with the shining rays of your light..
Excellent Ink Sir! Ehe art and music really fits the mood of the poem :love: :love:
Whoops! Sorry. I read the title wrong. I thought the topic was dessert.
Thank You all of you! You can still write..
And bring the writes on… it does not close
Until whenever.
Really enjoyed your Inspirational pieces
