Dessert Storm 1990

by Michael   Feb 16, 2010


24 December 1990: Tonight as I stood in the vastness of this land I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the sky. The stars doted the black velvet background like dasies in a field. As I sat there hypnotised, my thoughts raced back to you. It was dificult to believe that we are thousands of miles apart. My first emotions were ones of sadness and anger, I wanted both to scream and cry for I couldn't understand why this was happening. As I closed my eyes I could almost feel the warmth of your breath against my neck and the tenderness of your touch. I could see your lovely face smiling at me letting me know that it was going to be OK. I just sat there with my eyes closed and my heart full wanting for this moment not to end. Then came the sounds of air sirens and the fear of never seeing you again, it was all gone. Maybe tomorrow I can visit the dream again for it will keep me alive in my heart.
