Desert Dweller

Stand up!
Look around!
Can you see?

We are ocean waves. We are magic.

We came like moths to flame—
to this place—
at this particular time.

We are the desert breeze
rearranging the sand.

We are wizards of poetry—
of songs, and love.

Can you see—
when we gather and share,
there is always magic.

We tell tales of dreams and fears,
failure and triumph,
laughter and tears.

We are mystical souls
breaking the rules,
shaking you awake.

We are magicians
repainting the mundane
editing the routine
rewriting the story.

Stand up.
Look around.

Shhh…listen

We chant words that rise
in prophecy and promise,
and sing gentle songs
that whisper in your heart.
