Desert Winds Shawl
Alone and isolated in a dry and dusty land, the trail before you leads through the sagebrush and dry grasses towards the base of the mountains that reach to the sky around you. Thunder clouds are quickly growing in the blue sky and a gust of warm wind races down the mountains through the valley. The desert wind sends tumbleweeds rolling across the dusty trail until they are caught on the fences that surround the pastures. As the warm winds surround you, you follow the trail before you and reach the safety of an old wooded barn just as the storm breaks and waters the thirsty desert ground.
