What desert is this? I wish I knew.
It lays beneath the sky so blue.
The sun, the wind and cloudless sky
makes me ask the question, why?
That such a desolate and barren place
conspires to poison me, what a disgrace.
Oftentimes it can be said
this place fills me with unyielding dread.
The unyielding heat and dryness rule.
I suffer so and can be so cruel.
This place within is shown to few.
It is walled around and shielded too.
The rain provided by the sky so blue
evaporates or turns to dew.
But nourished me not, and quenches me neither,
tempts me so, and does not linger.
The desert is lonely dark and bleak.
I don't understand my needs to meet.
It hurts me so, I want to weep.

I love this poem Moss! Thank you so much for sharing it! I hope you don't mind, but I saw that the lines were all squished together into one paragraph and so I edited it to separate the lines into stanzas, the way it was when you had first shared it with me before. Please let me know if that was ok, and if you are having any problems formatting your posts. I want to ensure that anyone who posts is able to format their work the way they intend to and I hope this wasn't a program error.

ReplyDeletei had done a cut and paste and actually deleted and reposted. i could not get it to show the right way. but then again, i never posted to a blog. so a learning experience. thanks
Learning experience indeed! This is my first time setting up a blog and someone else had the same issue you did. After investigating the issue, I discovered that the "convert line breaks" function for formatting posts was turned off and needed to be turned on. I changed that setting and the problem is solved! I apologize for what surely must have been frustrating for you. Please take a look at your post to ensure it is presented the way you intended it and let me know if you have any problems. :)
