The Desert Is You
I imagine a desert full of sand
I imagine a desert full of heat
I imagine a desert full of palm trees I imagine a dessert full of wind
I imagine you.
I imagine walking through a desert
We are walking side by side
I imagine the wind of heat blowing and distracting my vision
Its sand stinging my eyes
I imagine sitting under a palm tree on a mat
Me at the left and you at the right
I imagine us facing each other
I imagine us talking
I imagine sleeping in the desert
In a tent with many cushions
I imagine that the nights are cold and very unkind
I imagine hearing voices of those that were buried here
That thought scares me,
It scares me a lot,
I suddenly feel like an intruder in this dessert
But your hand reaches out to me and presses tightly against my waist
I feel warms and I feel love
Lots of love and care
I imagine this dessert,
Iam in love with this dessert and its millions of sand, I imagine the dessert
The dessert is you.
