Desert Heat

The hot sizzling sun glowing down on the earth The ground scorched for hundreds of years Unbearable heat growing as the day grows older Like a lake of fire the heat never ends A Cicada singing it’s monotonous song The shrilling sound invading your thoughts Hypnotizing your body and mind till the Only thing you can hear is its voice The heat changing your visions From the open desert plain into An oasis protecting you from the sun A haven for those who thirst cool water Nalanti Goosen©2012 All rights reserved
