THE CACTUS AND THE MOON:


The thorny cactus all alone, & in the desert so forlorn,

Where land is friendless & by searing heat so very torn,

 Moon looks down on cactus, within the dead of night,

Her opal heart wrenched, at poor cactus´s sad plight,

Alone, where only grainy sands sigh & so softly shifts,

Between earth & sky, leaving solitary & starry rifts,

Old cactus tells the Moon, within the glare of day,

“My eyes hurt with not seeing you, so very far away”,

Moon smiles sadly, down upon desert´s barren land,

 “Cactus, I find solace in my stars & you within your sand”.
