Late at night in desert gloom, the storm breaks.<\/p>\n
There is no such thing as peace when Nature<\/p>\n
rains down her passionate kiss to this dry earth.<\/p>\n
The slithery serpent serpentines to his den,<\/p>\n
the scorpion clawing at raindrops, vacantly<\/p>\n
staring at the heavens with small black eyes.<\/p>\n
I with child in arms, so much a child myself,<\/p>\n
with eyes wide and heart pounding rapidly<\/p>\n
watch as Nature outdoes herself.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hello all, I am Sara Anderson. Pardon my off-the-cuff, it’s that time of night when the youth are restless and little else can entertain an idle mind. I look forward to posting up poetry in this marathon; though I may need help with the cocoa family(coffee and chocolate. Not that druggist third cousin, that’s a bit too much for any sane mind.)<\/p>\n
So then, this is my salutations. Greetings one and all, all you beautiful people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
