Desert

Take me to the desert
with mountains at our side;
walk with me in shadows
let nature be our guide.

We’ll stroll amongst the cacti
pay homage to the quails;
take me to the desert,
help me gather tales.

The seasons are passing,
we’re running out of time;
take me to the desert;
heal this heart of mine.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential.

  1. I enjoyed this. It reminds me of our first visit with our daughter after she moved to California from the East Coast. She took her father and me out into the desert so that we could experience it for the first time. My favorite picture of the two of us as adults was taken during that desert visit.
