The Desert
I saw the desert
through your
knowing eyes
with colors of pink,
tan, gold, and red.
A blazing sunset
slipped below
the horizon bringing
the cooling of the night.
The stars were vivid
lights in the inky,
black sky where silence
was the only thing heard
except the symphony
of the night desert air.

To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
Walt Whitman, American Poet (1819-1892)
