Sweeps of Sand

The panorama's immensity Twilight's intensity Profoundly felt, heart-pounding shivers On the shores of desert rivers Of sweeps of sand, stretching endless On darkling surface friendless Canteen emptied, my last companion Buried deep in this lost canyon

Eerily accurate I imagine when a person is lost in the wilds of a desert canyon, running out of water.

Yeah, nothing much worse than dying of thirst in the desert. Thanks, Caren

Truth be told, I think this poem reveals that a tiny bit of your talent for penning haunting verse has penetrated my Muse. Thank you for that gift, as well as for your support.
