Desert

Land lying in solitude

air always in rage

water becoming diamonds

where the color of orange prevails

Everywhere lies the portrait of sand

done by hands of nature

sometimes dancing together in hands

with the fiery tune of air

Deep beneath are homes

holding ownership by countless lives

plants with swords, here and there

yet becoming preys to those hunchbacks

As the sun drowns along with orange

darkness arrives, ceasing anger in air

all sighing in relief and eyes in daze

only then, the beauty came alive.
