Wild, dry, lonesome,
yet sweet,
a wandering child is
the desert,
harsh or favonian
winds, it smiles like a rose.
Crystalline sand
petals remind of the true rose,
each particle
immersed in memories salty and sweet,
beauty spirals
through this rose in the wilderness of desert.
Along with the sun rejoices the desert,
for its companion is
the rose,
into the world, wind
blows this story so sweet.
Truth full companion
to desert is the sweet desert rose.
