When Will My Desert Bloom

When will my desert bloom again? the forlorn hills beneath the warm sun velvet with verdant green; the drought grow saturate with storm. Ah, tempests! I would welcome thee! whose barren, introspective calm absorbs the silent, stagnant air, soul burnt without a hint of balm. When will my desert bloom again with myrtle and love's fragrant rose? when will love's latter rain appear, the dry heart hidden springs disclose? Copyright, 1987, Faye Gibson

I have seen the desert bloom in Arizona, it is quite spectacular. I am sure your Desert will rival anything you have imagined.
