The Desert Has Taught Me Poem by Ghada Shahbender

The Desert Has Taught Me

Rating: 5.0


I went to the desert to lose myself
But she came back strengthened and wizened
For the desert, like life, has many lessons to teach.
It has taught me that not all sand is the same
You have to hold it close to discover its different grains
And you have to dig into it to uncover its many layers
It has taught me that the winds shift and the clouds move
But the rocks of different forms and heights
Stand out to guide and support the weary traveler
The rocks are my friends.

My dear Ghada, All the poets brings us some messages. I really love your poems. We are trying to bring a collection of world poetry.' This is a nice poem For the desert, like life, has many lessons to teach. It has taught me that not all sand is the same You have to hold it close to discover its different grains And you have to dig into it to uncover its many layers It has taught me that the winds shift and the clouds move

That's a lovely write Ghada, it took me right into the poem. It makes one think about how everything even grains of sand are all different, not one the same. Beautiful. Love Ernestine XXX
