Desert Dweller

Basking in sweet afterglow.

The wind played with me today,
forceful enough to bend a thirty-foot pine
yet flowing smoothly over my surfaces.

It caressed my back, the hair on my head,
tips of my nipples, not missing a hair or nerve. 

A warm, gentle breath
over the fine hairs on my ears
giving me shivers.

The wind stimulated my being,
aroused my spirit,
filled me with a sudden,
overwhelming sense of joy.

The wind brought my entire body to life,
with a connection to air and earth.

The wind shared feelings
of omnipotence, omniscience, 
the experience of being a piece of the universe
and the entire universe simultaneously. 

My entire body throbbed and pulsed,
basking now in the sweet afterglow
of an afternoon windgasm.
