Desert Dreams

It grows in the desert on cacti. 
It needs the heat and colorful sky. 
Adventurers love what it brings. 
Its a plant that can make you see things.

You feel like you are dancing with a star,
but you have no clue where you are. 
They open up your mind to new dreams,
but they can also open up your screams. 

Time will slow down and you'll wonder if this is real. 
Then you might move around like an electric eel. 
This brings more than just a hallucinogen, 
it can bring you something called zen. 
 
When you are out there, beware of the coyote, 
because he might ask you for some of your peyote.
