Am I a Dessert Butterfly

Am I dessert butterfly? My wings harden each time I fly, Against the sandy winds; So, might my wings shatter From all contrary pressures that I duel with? I know they might crack or shatter someday From over-pressured sandstorms, Like I a broken winged dessert butterfly... Like a broken winged dessert butterfly, A raindrop's kiss is what I need, So that I revitalize My hardened wings and heart... Only when a raindrop kisses me, My wings will regain their former splendor and grace; So that I can fly on and on, Disappearing through a rainbow...
