Desert Spirit Poem by Natasha Norville

Desert Spirit



I roamed in the desert
The sand is before me
I continue on my path,
Then a castle rises in front of me.

I see a prince in the garden
His hair is gold like the sun
His eyes the color of the sky
His cloak the color of midnight
And upon his head is a crown of silver stars.

He looks up from a wounded animal and he sees me.
I can see the sadness in his eyes.
I ask him if the animal is dead
He says no, and I offer to help
His eyes start to sparkle
I go to the wounded animal and pray
The wound is healed
The prince then looks at me
And I can see the love in his eyes
He asks if I would like a tour of the castle,
I say yes


We talk for hours about different subjects.
As we go into the garden that night
I felt I was in love with this prince
He asks if I would like to stay with him
My answer is yes.


He then takes a cloak and puts it around me
The cloak is the color of the sky.
He also takes a crown of gold stars
And puts it on my head

I have fallen in love with a spirit
Who has in return loved me
He is known as Desert Spirit
He is Jesus Christ
The Lord God Almighty.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I wrote this poem because my 10th grade Litature teacher gave us the assignment for us to write about someone or something we loved. The title for this poem came from a scene in the movie 'Frank Herbert's CHILDREN OF DUNE. The idea of the prince in the desert came from a book called THE LITTLE PRINCE. This poem was the second poem that I wrote. It was also the second poem that was for an assignment for school.
