Determined

i have not ideal
where to start
but if there be
i'll find the key
to your heart

if buried under
Saharan sand
i'd sift the grains 
between my hand's
seperate searched
from unsearched sand
continue my search untill
i hold it in my hand

for determined i am
determined i am

to search desert sand
to prove i am a man
to make you understand
that you are part of my plan

most men search 
for riches and gold
but i search for you
in summer heat
or winter cold
for you i have 
this bravery
for you i am
so bold 
to walk 
the distance
to spend the hours
to rescue you from 
witches tower
and carry you away

i can not flee
the spell of you
being the one 
my sprit choose

Saharan sand
seems a small
part of the earth
for such a great thing
i'd search the whole 
world

Hi John Love your sentiments in this amazing poem. It congers up so many vivid images. I love the desert. Nice place to visit especially in the alaskan winter. My idea of the desert is the grand canyon but the sahara desert I'm sure is just as beautiful....The sand is a lot hotter ha! Take care Love Light Truth Patricia
