Away on a desert
No one in close sight
Trudging miles on bare foot,
We reached our planned site.
Sand dunes peeked here and there.
Camels with belled neck
Were seen slowly moving,
With their humpy back
Sky turned black and inky.
But moon shone quite bright.
Rocks were seen in chrome red,
In the glow of light.
The desert sand stretched wide.
Looked dazzling at night.
A land dry and sterile,
Lay blazed in moon light.
Near a huge tawny rock,
Were plants in flower,
Thriving in arid space.
Saw elf owls cower.
What a world of wonder!
Sure, a thrilling trip
Enjoyed it every bit.
From mind, it won't slip!
