Desert in the Rain

The sky bears a burden today
Heavy, dark and gray
A wild wind masked as a zephyr
Silently walks the dust laden land
Cold and intolerant, it doesn’t care
Now in true form and reckless spirit
It dares as much to rob the sorrowful sand
Naked and bare of the gold it shone
But the sands are still and enduring
Till the sky finally rests its burden
On the back of the wild wind
In remorse it cries huge tears
Ah the sweet scent of revenge
At last, the sands are at peace, for
The shamed sun sinks deeper down
And the sands; glow even in its twilight now.
