Poem: Sleeping Beneath the Joshua Tree

Sleeping Beneath the Joshua Tree

Sleeping beneath a Joshua Tree,
The night is cold and barren,
But I feel a spark of inspiration,
In this high desert of desolation.

I dream of love and adventure,
Of exploring the vast and wild land,
Of finding beauty in every corner,
Of holding your warm hand.

Sleeping beneath a Joshua Tree,
I see the stars above me shine,
They fill my heart with hope and wonder,
And make this moment divine.
