The Lively Desert

Burning desert sands release their ghostly waves of heat; specters in pastoral sunlight; dancing gauzy haunts on the air. Cacti sentries in green uniform guard the growing dunes, as a brown lizard limps in a faint haze, to escape flying sands. In this lively desert more goes on than the onlooker will realize; don’t stay too long or you could become one of the haunts! dry and dusty sands blow and regroup into mounds- traveling the winds

I often wonder at the secrets of the desert. I see you know. "In this lively desert more goes on than the onlooker will realize;" Well done indeed!
