Shall I wrap myself
in a quilt of desert sand—
or evening shadows?

    haunting haiku
    I too would choose the shadows for my quilt, I like sand only on my feet.

    A poet can warm her/himself with either one, I suspect. Blessings and peace to you and yours as you celebrate His coming, MMT.

    Sand may give more warmth
    In the desert’s cold night, but
    Shadows give comfort

    Cheers!

    I will have the sand for a pillow… and the evening shadows, the most divine of quilts… p.s. dear magicalmysticalteacher… your heart is indeed fertile soil, for every time I come here, my heart opens and receives the beauty you prepare for us each week…

    A quilt of desert sand has a beautifully subtle patterns and colors…..as do the evening shadows – decisions, decisions…
