Night Over The Desert

Jayasree

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.
