Desert Rose Nocturne

Upon her celeste, fair Selene plays a tune
as thousands of small dots of light spring to view
The shine that was hidden by midday sun
now stirs and awakens through veins as they’re strummed

Brightening the vessel, soft sparks coalesce
the stars, they nod proudly as pigments fluoresce
She sings to the silence, an audience of one
and delights ’til the blooming and gleaming is done

A spectacle hidden from all sleeping eyes—
a succulent nocturne amidst desert night skies
