POEM ~ THE SAHARA IN MY HEART

THE SAHARA IN MY HEART
© All rights reserved ~  www.pattyskeys.co.za

Lost in a lonely desert place with not a bad thought or care ~
Because you’re not there!
No more stinging sand storms to burn my heart ~
As from the start!
The scorching sun of memories still burn me sore ~
Just as before!
But you’re not there to turn up the heat ~
And leave me beat!
I will not miss you out here in this desolate place ~
You’ve left me to face!
I will not cry for you or call your name ~
To leave me lame again!
I am not afraid which way to go ~
I will know!
Love guides me in the wind that blows ~
My courage grows!
Hope lies over every dune ~
Sweet perfume!
Friends bring relief as they draw near ~
Oasis of loving care!
In this wilderness I’m not alone ~
I feel at home!
I know I have a destiny ~
My God’s with me!
