Let Us Be the Desert


Let Us Be the Desert

Leena Doley

Let us be the
Desert
Unquenchable
Vast
Mysterious
Unconquerable amazing
Beautiful
Let us be as undefeatable as the desert
The more it receives
The more it asks for
Your limits
Your infinite power
Your infinite energy
Let us be the desert
Forever asking for more
Forever ready to
Absorb
All that you have to give
Let us be the desert
Serene and beautiful
Expansive unending
Mysterious
Warmed by the sun
Only to be betrayed by night
Yet beautiful
Evermore
In its moonlit coldness
Let us be the desert
Unquenchable
Unconquerable
