Falcons With Powerful Wings

This breezy island is often visited by falcons with powerful wings, as they display the swiftness of their elaborate flights; on the gleaming sand, I'm laid back and pensive, while my curious dog scampers to and fro, trying to catch them... Falcons with powerful wings, on my island blasting with sunshine, forever dwell to multiply your offspring: no human ever sets foot on it to avoid dire, for the steaming soil is too arid, and nothing ever grows,indeed; and the palm trees can only offer shade for someone eager to stay,but afraid... A sunlight as dense as fire scorches the soft and low dunes, on the deserted beach I play my melodious tunes; a capricious, soothing breeze brushes my suntanned, golden cheeks... why is this beach the quietest place that instills every desire? Falcons, roar until the blazing sky disperses its blueness which attracts your enthusiasm to induce brazenness, but the arrival of shadows brings dreariness and solitude: for vultures that are raring to go to a brighter altitude; only the whimpering ravens huddle on the battered rocks, and wait for the luminescent sunrise, hoping to flutter in the August's intense heat...
