Black Rock Desert

I stood on the vast plains of the playa

Listening to silence, watching rainpour in the distance

Looking across to reflections formed by the rain, or are these mirages?

I stood on the vast plains of the playa

Wondering how it got here and what used to be here

How did it get so dry, how did it become a desert?
