Sand in the Sahara sifts like a sidewinder
Sand in the Sahara sings whispers to the stars at night
Sand in the Sahara dances with the wind undulating downward toward the valleys and upward toward the peaks
Sand in the Sahara sits still when the winds rests at night, inviting scorpions to cool their scales and stingers after a long scorching day
Sand in the Sahara sheds light on togetherness and brightens up solitude
Sand in the Sahara shares peace and tranquility with you and I
Sand in the Sahara reminds me that we are never alone
Sand in the Sahara illuminates the blackness of the night, the whiteness of the stars, and the goldens of its grains
Sand in the Sahara absorbs every ounce of water in my body
Sand in the Sahara concentrates the moisture from the ocean air into dewey droplets
Sand in the Sahara spends itself in the eternal hourglass of deserts lost time
Sand in the Sahara pushes back on our skin cells, massaging our peripheral nerve endings
Sand in the Sahara outlives all in the test of time

The problem with being a nice person
Who would have thought that being a nice person could be problematic. The majority of people would tell you that’s what they want to be or at least want those around them to be, but as it turns out, what we want and what we say we want are worlds apart. I won't stress or ramble on about how I would like things to be, but I’ll just analyze why this is, I am not sure either if a solution is even possible.
