The Desert

Miles and miles you travel
but see an empty desert
jaded and exhausted by such a long walk
you enjoy a frozen dessert

No trees, no water, nothing is found
except for sand and dirt
but one special thing found nowhere else
is the peace and silence of the desert

Desert snakes, quicksands are a few dangers
so, protect yourselves and be alert
but if you feel your safe enough
you enjoy a frozen dessert

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
