Desert Flower
There are symbols everywhere
Signs that even I can't deny
Only if they aligned
I could lift away the veil
Nearly everything takes time
I tell myself but to no avail
I uncork the wine
Too young but feel fine
For a moment, in my prime
Simple pleasures
Mask my decline
I divine an arduous path
You say, "Don't go, I know the path
Fear leads back to fear"
Still, I never learn
I'm amazed at every turn
The desert flower how does it never burn
When my love ebbs and flows
Wisdom dims then it grows
You won't say, "I told you so"
Softer words dull the pain
The jungle calls
Why don't we go?
