Desertwind

Alive

Life for me 

has been marooned 

stuck in a cocoon ,

until now 

the flowering blooms 

of magnolias and roses 

in this month 

of June 

 

I love this month 

for my senses 

of smell ,

and beauty 

as well 

mine has been asleep ,

and everyday 

was a creep 

 

Now the waters 

that are still 

and the ones 

that run ,

are beautiful 

and warmed 

by the sun 

 

A time for what 

my body craves ,

to the ocean 

and it\'s 

soothing waves 

 

To see the beauty 

of the beaches 

smooth sand ,

and the women 

who lay down 

on it 

to get tanned 

 

To feel the 

warmth of the sun 

on my skin ,

and all of the beauty 

that\'s around me 

within 

 

I think this 

is what that 

all people strive ,

for within them 

just to be 

alive
