Sweet Desert Rose: Tritina

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.

Tritina : It comprises of three stanzas using the same three words in a Sestina like pattern, and a final line which uses the three words in the starting sequence:
A.. B.. C...
C.. A.. B...
B.. C.. A...
A,B,C...
