Like the desert sun
Disrupted unevenly
By a low breeze
Just
Temporary relief,
Nothing complete.
The green graceful slope
Of the graveyard like
A swelling sigh that never
Fully exhales,
Caught in the balance
Without full repose.
Heaviness
Hugging and lightness
Gently tugging
At my stomach.

I like this - I can feel and see everything that is described. I see the sunset in the forlorn desert and can feel the uneasy breathing. It is easy to relate to, as well.
The description of the graveyard has a strong emotional backing. I think we've all been in an emotional position that's between sadness and happiness. There are some things take an extremely long time to resolve. Two words stand alone, "Just" and "Heaviness", suggest a sorrowful event.
