Beneath the scorching desert sun,
Where shadows waltz and mirages run.
Lost amid the shifting sands,
A soul adrift in arid lands.
Whispers of the hot, dry breeze,
Echoes of the lost, seeking release.
Endless dunes, a sea of gold,
Where stories of the lost are told.
Footprints erased by the wind’s cruel jest,
Each step a gamble, a desperate quest.
Sunset paints the sky with hues,
Lost in solitude, where time accrues.
The horizon dances, a distant illusion,
An oasis mirage in searing confusion.
Thirsty lips, a prayer for rain,
Lost in echoes, a silent refrain.
The desert’s silence, profound and deep,
As weary eyes yearn for restful sleep.
Stars above, a cosmic guide,
Lost in the desert, nowhere to hide.
Yet, in the heart of this desolate scene,
Resilience blooms, a spirit keen.
Lost, but not defeated, in the endless expanse,
A wanderer’s fate, a nomadic dance. -unknown

The painting is protected with satin varnish and arrives with a certificate of authenticity. See less
