Desert Sun
The cool of the night gives away as the chill burns into the vapor of the dusty morning. The sun breaks the horizon, it's peak not yet felt this is only the beginning of the day. Dark blues and purples are pushed away by Golden rays powerful and bright. All that is alive in the night veil retreat to their bidding places.
The sun higher now, the waves of heat begin to rise. You can see it in the distance as the mirage forms of the hidden oasis you only dream of in the depths of your burned out mind. Your mouth dry, skin turned to leather. Keep moving the place you seek is far away still.
With each step you feel heavy. The sun directly over head now, no hope of shade for miles. Feel gravity pulling you down or is that quick sand trying to eat you alive? Be aware of the scorpion the shakes and the shredding points of the cataus. There are more things here than only the sun trying to devour you.
Finally you feel it know it embrace it. You fall to the soft ground tired, you can't keep going even with the sun beginning to relent. Only in your hallucinations do you believe in your rescue from the down you are currently under.
The cool of the night falls down upon you once more. Your body no longer radiating the heat of the day. The veil of nights rejuvenation finds only what you once were sadly the land will take from you what you used to be.
