The Patience of Desert Sand

The desert sand lies tearless,
Not rising into stem nor leaf,
To allow creation of some waxy flower,
Shifting, winding with the Maker’s wind,

And then

The Creator’s mind takes its nothingness,
Paints it with strength and color,
To rise and redecorate those barren places,
Casting Love even in an empty Spring.

Wow! Sunlite. Firstly the picture - so representative of you poem and then a Wow! for your poem itself. They work so well together. But about your verses - they describe the miracle nature so well. I'm going to click on the FAVE button right now...Maria :)
