In the sabulous Namib desert <br />between Welwitschia and gecko’s <br />where fast sidewinders glide <br />over yellow dunes big and small... <br />lies a brittle sandy rose! <br /> <br />It has been formed to perfection <br />from God’s natures laboratory <br />through hundreds years of wind <br />hot and freezing cold air! <br /> <br />Be careful not to pick it up <br />or to step on it for pleasure <br />it will just crumble in you hand <br />or under your feet <br />and turn to desert again! <br /> <br />And with break of morning <br />dew will be all over the dunes <br />like angel tears shed... <br />over another destroyed creation! <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright©JohanJ<br /><br />Johan Jacobs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/desert-rose/
