***

Warm red sand brushed his skin

As the wind swirled around him

Gently coating him with sand

The wind surges for a moment

Its fierce speed flinging the grit all about

Each grain of sand stinging him

Scouring him

Leaving him clean

Revealing a gentle soul gleaming.

The taste of dirt in his mouth

The red sand at his feet

Scratching him

Stretching on forever

Holding him safe in the center

Of an unrelenting dessert

Keeping him in place

Under its fierce gaze

The sand is everywhere

On him

Under him

All around

Supporting him and securing him

In its tight grip

Setting his soul free

To soar with the sand

Upon the wind

The sand

Is somehow all he needed

All he will ever need

To feel whole

And he is safe here

Within its grasp.
