Rare drops join
To overflow
Silt and mud
On the go
Desert lands
Scoured so
A stream bed
Parched no more.
For the Wits End photo challenge: Moving water
Dedicated to the potential for life that desert rains bring … and to the young souls who were lost in a flash flood earlier this year.

Tucked away in the weald
They heard a lone
Fairy sing
Of the flowers she weaves
And the whispers of leaves
Of old blooms
And new blues
And the elves in the yews.

There is nothing more lovely
Than riding in pair
Over waves
Under skies
Skimming high
Fins in air.

It was their last day by the lake. The weather was perfect and the air was so crisp it squeaked. She inhaled deeply, savoring every moment. By that time tomorrow she’d be stuck in rush-hour traffic.
“See?” he pointed. “Even wood can’t keep its head above water at some point.”
She snuck a hand into his and squeezed. She wished she could give him sips of this place during what was to come. She wished she could tell him this round wouldn’t be as difficult as the ones before. That this one would work. She didn’t know if to hope or fear it being the last. It shattered her that she no longer knew what he hoped for.
She gathered the light around her, kissed his baldness, and rose to stand.
“For now, my love, let’s float.”

Undulating dunes
Slowly slide
To the sound
Of soft sand
Under hand.

If you’re out and about
But your thirst is quite real
There’s a clear stream awaiting
To help you chill your fill.

Pink fuzz lit
In the sun
Hirsute stem
Brushing ground
Rising up
Set to stun.

“Pink tree!” she delighted
Toddled quickly, pulled my hand
“Park pretty!” she exclaimed
“Come fast! Come fast!”
“Take picture?” she requested
And of course, I obliged.

More than chocolate and ice cream
More than cookies and cake
Fruit will forever first place
In my heart take!

In the heat
Of the desert
In the heat
Of the fight
They will spar
Under swelter
To claim heat
With their might.
