Mirage: Tapestry of the Sand

"The hourglass parts paternally and maternally with life flowing in between," ... by The Poet.

granules enigmatic essences yields              the life source 
              epitomized in the desert aglow ...
     granulites a rose an aspiring hope     
                         as maternal eyes glides afloat
                                              calming dust devils common there ... 
  desert air steads an apparition of a wife     
                    her vision that maketh every dreamer dreaming                 
                                                            cometh true ... 

the sun befell upon my lap     like tumbleweeds brushing alongside my legs 
          forever drifting, turning, tumbling, and tumbling along
                                         until disturbing utterance of confusion ...  
      yakety,   yakety,   yak      it's incessant and     
                            I'm all alone so what am I to do now   
                                                            oh, there's his milk bottle ...
 
I was in a coarse place    sliding down a course all glassey 
                it was fun there     I don't like it here, hey, what was that
        where'd it go, sounds goo-goo now ga-ga
                                 I will make sounds too, wah, wah, wah ... 
   that's alright      I'll grab his bottle my dear ...
