I yearn to get back to my core
To dance to the feeling of the earth
In the warm dirt of the Arizona Desert
I desire the heat beneath my feet
The dust to fly around me as the wind
Immerses me in itself
I want to be filled with its essence
I yearn for sunset
When the desert turns a dark auburn red
And the sky illuminates the clouds
That threaten the horizon
A desert storm
Filled with the hot and sultry wind,
And big warm drops of rain
Caressing my skin
It is here that I feel remembered
Untouchable, strong and pure
Here I can find myself
Admist the unknown
When I am one with the earth
I feel my spirit grow
But without that strong connection
My soul's path is clouded and unclear
To dance to the wind in the Arizona Desert
To wipe the rain from my brow
To suspend reality in the tips of my fingers
And really let myself go
This is when my soul is content
Amidst the painful world
But only when I can dance freely
In the soft red dirt, of Arizona
