Arid Desert Poem

The desert is fearful of the rain
The desert might lose its feeling for itself
When the desert is treeless,
You may have to think about it.
Smoky and arid like you’ve never seen before
The air as dry as a bone
As the vast serene makes, you wanna faint
In sandy grooves, everything moves.
I'm telling you we can imagine
360 panoramic views
Frightful and lifeless
Rock formations big and small
Like you haven't even seen it all.
Beautiful sunset touching the salty blue sky
Tonight we see the desert turn black
As the stars shine in the Outback
