My desert sun
I’m sorry I was gone for so long
I didn’t mean to hurt you
And leave high and dry
But It’s easier to hide in the snow
Easier to write
Easier to hang up the phone
Easier to hide from you
The you that sees me when I’m in pain
As clothes make me sweat in the
desert sun
However, in the snow I can hide under layers of protection
Protecting me from the evils in my mind
Protecting me from my old heartache
Protecting me from issues I tired to leave in the desert, but followed me to the snow
However, as the snow melted in the desert sun, I am left to face and shed my layers
Answering questions I tried to avoid
Seeing faces similar to mine
And visiting the sun rays of the desert that I forever missed, but avoid seeing
It may have been months, but you, the desert sun, can always center me and remind of the dirt, cacti, and mountains I come from.
It’s you, the desert the sun, that remind me the dirt in the snow ain’t shit.
That I can be my own desert sun if I stop and breathe the memory and feels of you.
That the mystical power of the desert sun pushes me forward and beyond the icy streets that I love, but are only the branches that grow from your roots
My desert sun
