Desert Smile

Nimbus clouds form original artwork Cuddled with their feathery friends, Floating with the convectional current, Fostered by directional winds. Palm trees shake and wave goodbye, Bid farewell with verdant hands, Roaming the desert on a camel's hump, Chasing a patch of shaded sand. Scorching grains like fiery coal, Shelter, slithering, sidewinder snakes. Plants are nourished by natural wells, An oasis fueled by underground lakes. Vultures soar and scavenge dunes, A dying beast calls the flock, Sharpened beaks smell rotten meat, Ascend on flesh, bone and rock.
