Desert Rose

Desert Rose

A Poem by Patrick O'Neil

To receive inspiration. A blessing and perfect gift. Rain that falls, on barren earth. Cools and refreshes, gives hope, of rebirth. It reaches deep, touches everything. Turns a puddle into a stream, a river, to shape the earth, and wash it clean. To be inspiration. Miracle and magical splendor. A flower that blooms. Despite, were it was sown. Standing strong and independent. In a wasteland, a beacon of greater truth, for all the world to see. How things are, but really, how they could be. In presence of Your wonder. I only, pray for rain. With hope, to one day be, to you, as you, are to me. Desert Rose! Beautiful inspiration, amazing serenity.

Your are really kind. I am so happy that you like it. Thank you.
This is so well written! Beautiful and elegant and I love the desert and the rain you make it sound almost magical. I take it this is for your muse? What a gift and what a special person. "Cools and refreshes gives hope of rebirth"- you really make the reader (Me) want to go to this place you speak of and drink from the inspirational rain! Heck I'd bring jars for this kind of inspiration.
