Desert Rose: Part 1

The Search has begun!

Drowning in the smoke

Of a midnight's fog 

Crystals of sand

Wrapped around the tempest's hand 

Glittering dust of gold 

Shining and twinkling 

as they fall from above 

Of shooting stars and their luck 

She doesn't care 

Walking along the Destiny's path 

Leaving footprints like scars 

Crushing pebbles and rocks 

And anything that comes along

To the distant horizon 

Her journey has begun 

The ghost lights are gearing up 

Wearing their suits made out of fireflies 

In her welcome..getting ready are the bedouins

Cooking up a feast 

of smoked camel relish 

Elixir of life; they will serve later 

in a glass made of ice..

In condition..

She has to feed the bedouin master's soul 

With molten petals of the rarest desert rose..

So she begins her hunt in the vastness 

in search of minimalistic life..

scavenges bed rocks, snake holes and dunes 

Puts every spec to inspection..

In the desert with no men 

She fights for her life..

Some amazing imagery in this piece. "The ghost lights are gearing up Wearing their suits made out of fireflies..." Nice! There is the feeling of solitary adventurer - I look forward to Part 2!

an enchanting mystical piece that feels like the desert and its culture is a picture printed in these words.
