The Desert
I saw the desert
through your
knowing eyes
with colors of pink,
tan, gold, and red.
A blazing sunset
slipped below
the horizon bringing
the cooling of the night.
The stars were vivid
lights in the inky,
black sky where silence
was the only thing heard
except the symphony
of the night desert air.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
