No vision of the sun laid bare
only distorted reflections through desert haze
the sky alive and at odds with shifting sands
where walk the shadows of the clouds
in endless searching for a place to rest their heads
Still the song is sung of that land of waters
in the far places beyond the veils of mirage
where from death all life begins
and wakes reaching for the sun, yearning
to know and be known by the sky

Sorry to have been so inactive lately. I’m going to get myself back to posting every day (mostly). I also have a lot of work to do to catch up with everyone else’s posts that I’ve missed. Hope you all are doing well.

Well, I suppose I should call you Mitch. I have been calling you David for ever. This is a beautifully written poem about the mysteries of the desert lands. “where walk the shadows of the clouds” I love this line, beautiful. Hope all is well my friend. Great to read your work again. Love and safety to you and your loved ones. Joni

Haha, I never minded! I always appreciate your comments more than I can say. I’ve thought before about just going by David, but decided I like using my full name. Thank you for the well wishes, and all the same to you (:

I often see these poems of yours as postcards which is maybe what you intend for the Reader? Thanks for sharing your travels, they are always exciting.

That’s so cool! A lot of what I post is inspired by the places I go/have gone, for sure. I hope to be able to travel way more though–there’s too much of the world left to see! Thanks for the comment (: best wishes to you
