The Desert
There's a vast bare land afar
Blanketed with dry brown sand-dunes.
A brown ocean with no moisture in its heart
A land bereft of rivers and streams.
The home of dorcas gazelles, blind skink,
Camels and chuckwallas.
A pool of sand characterised by meagreness precipitation,
Maximal drought and intense solar radiation.
A land clothed in simmering pools of mirage.
Yes! it might be barren, yet it's not devoid of life.
The saguaro cactus, Mexican poppies
And the wild flowers are all a part of the beautiful life
hidden in the desert.
