Hope In the Desert

Desert thunderheads clap loudly over the plains giving parched lands hope watching skies from red rock cave ancient chief sighs with relief Written on 3/9/2015 Tanka

The simplest words can carry the most weight when you make the reader feel them as well as hear them, and you do it so well. Emile.
