Desert Escape

poem by Minnie Lippiatt

The desert looks desolate

no water nor life, I see.

The white sand desert seems so long

so far from the view of mankind.

Walking in deeper, for hours,

I slow down and hear noises.

is it life?

The desert flower begins to bloom open.

I see…

the desert is not desolate if you look close enough.

It brings life to those who search.
