A Monsoon Kind of Day

Furiously the heat lingers

as the desert sun grasps

holding the drought,

plant growth ordained

to your part of the world

Desert spirits cry to be dampened

yearning for a moments relief,

as the riverbeds of one’s soul

rough from the carving heat,

lie still in their death

Over the rise the storm is coming,

wailing winds of magnitude strength

levels sparse renewed struggling growth,

as fury slams against the tall cactus

whipping the foreseen seasonal path as the…

raging winds of the monsoon come again
