Desert Flower
Amidst this insufferable place
Lost among sand dunes
Where footprints once paced
While the sun shone like a thousand doubloons
There stands a desert flower
A symbol of strength for all
Becoming a beacon of power
To find those who lose their way by nightfall
It refuses to wilt against the heat
Its colors remain vivid and loud
A flower with a will that can't be beat
And makes the barren land proud
It holds its petals high
Like a coyote facing the moon
Pollen scatters across the desert sky
As the wind sings an airy tune
This flower calls out with its fragrance
A sweetness that travels far
Striving for the chance
To reach the weary wherever they are
