Lagrange

 The pain behind your eyes 

Calls to me like a siren in the desert 

A mermaid laid out 

Gasping for breath 

For the rain that never comes 

Dust swirling in the air 

Chokes out hope 

Of surviving  this insurmountable loss 

Of making it through this barren landscape 

The siren’s song 

A symphony of loss 

Sunsets burst with fire 

A hell on earth 

But the gentle breeze cools the air 

And by night it feels ok again 

The desert has a way of

Destroying you 

Only to rebuild you 

From her magical mud 

You stand in the face of her sun light 

A magical adobe brought back to life 

Changing forms 

A call to arms 

You must escape the fire 

To be reborn 

Silent prayers fall back to earth 

Like raindrops 

On this cracked earth
