Run rampant, flee away
With life held
In your sun-dried hands.
Heat ablaze,
Scorches desert dunes.
Sand mixes in a dance
Of campfire tales
Of long ago.
As the arid wind
Makes love kiss
Your avid lips,
There whispers a secret
Untold of magic lurking
Around every corner.
Should you dream
Of your prince tonight,
Your happiness has found
You amidst your wandering
Of sheer bliss
From the life-giving
And life-draining sun,
Upon both dead sands
And living winds.
