I'm like a chain of land, punctuated by dots of water and sand. If the sea sank by a few degrees, you could conceivable drive across the Keys!

Within me dances hidden light, a shifting glow of colors bright. Though pale at first, I gleam with fire, October’s gemstone of soft desire.

Vast, barren realms where cacti stand guard, whispering winds sculpt dunes under a sun's relentless gaze. A mirage of emptiness teeming with hidden life.

In fields I wait, then spring from sight, with bending legs, I leap in flight. A sudden hop, then I’m gone quick, in summer’s hum, I move so slick.

I use my mists as a coy veil, Drawing you in with my beauty. You can hear the thundering of my blood, even from a distance. A ceaseless, driving force Cold enough to freeze a man to the bone, And a curtain strong enough to keep you close. Behind my veil, you'll find my hidden teeth, Ready to pummel and chew you to a pulp
