In the Beauty of the Desert

In the beauty of the desert

From the sky we cannot hide

The stars reflect our deepest visions

and the fire our inner light

A raw and red earth

Vast open expanse

Feeling stillness held in silence

Resolved of desires dance

In the beauty of the desert

Truth revealed through seamless cracks

From the sky we cannot hide

As all is reflected back
