My Life is a Desert
by Dawn Pisturino

My life is a desert. Big and brown and empty.
A chill wind blows sand across my heart,
burying it forever.
Cactus needles pierce my feet and hands,
making the blood flow red.
I place the Crown of Thorns upon my head.
Broken and bent, I ascend the Cross.
Hanging like rotten fruit from a dead tree,
I gaze across the barren landscape and cry,
“My God! My God! Why have You forsaken me?”
