Forgive me, dear friend
You will not understand
This desert has no soul

And I feel like a sand grain -
Just one among the few 
Who outlive the hot sun -
Just one, stripped of my pride
The same as every one.

Forgive me, dear friend 
But you cannot persuade me
To stay where time has stopped

For I must be a raindrop -
And since the world goes on,
So strictly unchangable -
There is no room for rain
Amidst hot ancient sands...
