Desert

I read and meaning escapes me
I ponder my own intellectual ability 

Everything isn’t for everyone
Some love moon others prefer sun

Just as you may love lavender rain
As a release from your poetic pain

I look in the mirror and see 
A reflection of indifference looking at me

Perhaps I really enjoy the friction
The journey more appealing than fruition

When I am honest about my life
I cut it up eat it like pecan pie

Because I may seem an introvert
But I dream of extrovert desert
