Desert Dance
Desert Dance
Innocent, these sand dunes wait
Under cloudless, starry skies
Unenlightened of their fate
While moonlight dances and belies.
Silently, upon on a dune,
In silhouetted shapely form
Baton in hand she taps a cue
To hail a scene long waited for.
Stout winds rise now for the West
The dance begins in pure blue light.
Seizing each blunt element
She pulls at them with all her might.
Soon every star is given rout
Obscured by clouds as black as blight
All must obey to carry out
Her every willful wish tonight.
With purging sheets of pelting rain
In unrelenting feral might
To pummel hard upon the back
Of every single thing in sight.
The thunder growls bombastic songs
To lightnings jagged blades of light
And all have waited oh so long
For such a tumult as this night.
But once exhausted, meek withdrawal,
She leaves the stars their last few hours
Till nothing’s left of force and squall
Except a sea of desert flowers.
