The Best Years of My Life in the Desert

The wind blows boisterously
Hard enough to sandblast my vehicle
I know it’s that time of year as I look outside my windshield
and notice the imprints of sand
I’m used to orange and auburn leaves falling to the ground,
but here in this place all I see are the same things around me.
Why can’t there be trees or grass here also?
I guess it just wasn’t meant to be
Maybe one day I can escape this desolate environment
and be one with the seasons of the earth once again
but until then I will forever miss how it made me feel.
