desert rose
let your words bloom
as they are whispered
into a barren world
the flowers you create
with your poetic voice
are unique to you
sprinkled across the hills
smiling up at the sun
you bring color
to the vast void
poetry flowers
blossom in the minds
of those you gently touch
a sweet aroma
awakens the senses
brings to memory
what should be
not what is
torn & tattered
so many souls
drug through the fire
with your tender blooms
you add beauty
to the badlands
where people thirst
for healing wisdom
you are a desert rose
mighty & strong
surviving against all the odds
to bring a gentle peace
to a weary place

Oh Raven, you wrote a self poem and didn’t even realize it. The words you ink, you are the desert rose. It is a pleasure to stand in such a harsh land and admire your beauty.
Thank you for the write.

No words can describe how much I love this and how beautiful this is. But I am a sucker for roses (my favorite flower). An excellent write and I’m looking forward for reading more of your work.

It took me a long time to realize that every voice is different. And that's the way it should be. It wouldn't be much of a choir with only one sound. This is a thing of beauty you've penned here. Elegant and inspiring. So soothing to weary souls.

This one is my favorite of yours thus far. Love the title ... wild beauty. It pulled me in without my even feeling it ... like drifting into a dream. Got me teary as well. Thanks for letting your soul brush mine. Sigh ...
