I retired from the energy business in 2014 and started writing poetry. At first I shared my writing with family and friends. Then I set myself a challenge to write a poem every day for a year. After meeting that goal I just kept going and started this blog in 2021. I hope you enjoy reading my poems. Remember happiness is just a state of mind and poetry is great nourishment.
In the heart of the desert, where the sun reigns supreme, there were endless sand dunes, stretching as far as the eye could see.
The sun, a relentless ball of fire, cast its scorching rays upon the arid landscape, baking the sand until it glowed like molten gold.
Traversing the desert, a lone traveler named Amir wrapped his cloak tightly around him to shield against the intense heat.
With each step, the sand whispered beneath his feet, a reminder of the desert’s ancient secrets.
The sun climbed higher in the sky, its heat becoming almost unbearable.
Amir pressed on, his determination unwavering despite the sweltering conditions.
As the hours passed, his water supply dwindled, and fatigue began to set in.
Amir knew there should be a water supply nearby but he was worried he might not find it in time.
Just when it seemed like all hope was lost, Amir stumbled upon the oasis nestled among the dunes.
Its emerald waters shimmered in the sunlight, a welcome sight amidst the desert’s harsh beauty.
With renewed strength, he hurried forward, quenching his thirst and replenishing his spirit.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and purple, Amir found shelter beneath the shade of a palm tree.
As he drifted off to sleep, he couldn’t help but marvel at the resilience of life in the desert, where even the hottest sun could not extinguish the oasis of hope that lay within.
