The desert shimmers silver
in the starlit night.
The night sky
like a crystal blanket
with the twinkling stars
sewn on it.
The silence of the night broken
by the whisper of the
blooming desert flowers,
the fluttering of the
night birds' wings
and the sound of the
shifting sand dunes
in the wind.
The desert, a sea of sand
stretches endlessly
to the horizon, where
the stars rain down
on the wild flowers
draping them in silver.

- Comment from author about the poem: The desert as mystic and endless as the sea. The first time I got a glimpse of the desert, it was in Bahrain. In winter, families camp out in the desert. While driving on the desert roads, there are warning signs of shifting sand dunes.
