 
          Some things live on me but never move
        
        
          Long stringy roots digging deep into my heart,
        
        
          Sucking my essence and my soul
        
        
          Leaving only dust and arid land in its path,
        
        
          The Saxual tree is like a live oasis, giving life
        
        
          Wild onions nearly as good as hazelnuts,
        
        
          I cannot believe that these plants fight on
        
        
          My harshness test the strength of survival,
        
        
          Cacti love my dangerous terrain
        
        
          Some seeds to lazy to bloom till it rains,
        
        
          Others only flower at night in the cool
        
        
          While leafless plants do grow and strive,
        
        
          Animals nibble heartily on the prickly pears
        
        
          Sweet and succulent , but has a sharp bite ,
        
        
          Rain soft as tears on my face
        
        
          Making a blanket of colour before my eyes,
        
        
          Palms sway like people in the wind
        
        
          Rocking backwards and forwards listening to my music
        
        
          Who am I?
        
        
          I often have mood swings, violent , extreme and sudden
        
        
          I go from peaceful ,rage ,beauty and death all in a day,
        
        
          When I am angry I blind and pierce anything in my path
        
        
          Swirling sands create confusion and loss of way,
        
        
          Everything is covered with a film of my body
        
        
          Which breaks away from the ground and rises up,
        
        
          My angry does not last long, I fall to the ground
        
        
          Exhausted and drained of all energy ,
        
        
          When I am peaceful everywhere around me is tranquil and still
        
        
          I feel relaxed and do not move as if I am a painting ,
        
        
          Everything is frozen even the wind
        
        
          I feel like I am sleeping, having sweet dreams,
        
        
          Nothing can wake me, nothing can anger me
        
        
          As I am peaceful my setting becomes more beautiful,
        
        
          Rare oasis glint in the sun like glass
        
        
          Lush green palms drape lazily over me ,
        
        
          Fat juicy plums calling me to pick them
        
        
          A slight breeze rustling the leaves, of the Saxual trees,
        
        
          Who am I?
        
        
          The sky going pink, orange and yellow
        
        
          The most beautiful of sunsets,
        
        
          As I get too peaceful and more beautiful I become more deadly
        
        
          Death and destruction follow me like a shadow,
