BACK TO THE DESERT

Your love made me a beacon of light.
When I was taught by you the value
of colours I painted a garden in my soul,
but one day without a reason I forgot
that colours have shades.
A sudden blindness took my mind off of
a thunder was heard somewhere…
And I turned back to the desert.
