child of the desert
orange sky
purple clouds,
double rainbow,
in a painted desert.
wind caressing,
an upturned face,
heavy rain drops,
falling, falling, falling.
bright dusk,
false light,
promising beginning,
bringing only an ending.
night comes swift,
velvet darkness,
harvest moon,
rising, rising, rising.
coyote howls,
rabbit shivers,
owl calls,
who, who are you?
i?
i am everything,
i am nothing,
i know not.
flower child,
knows only thorns,
daughter of moon,
scared of night.
fearless one,
fearing you,
immortal,
on the brink of death.
who am i?
child of the desert.
