Desert Island

Desolate, dry, very little life.
Surrounded by acres of water
but no moisture makes it to land.
An island, all alone, drifting.
Drifting because it is not safely
anchored to the Earth like all other islands.
Drifting, lifeless, hot and dry.
No greenery, no waterfalls,
no mountain peaks of snow.
Only dust.
Lonely dust.
Other islands try to welcome the free floating desert, but it chooses to move away,
farther away. Becoming not just lonely,
but all alone.
