Being In the Wilderness

The sirocco of Sahara I face Tread barchans of crescent dunes This lion-like lightning is looking for lunes Sleep soundly in the comfort of thorns And be stuck in a swamp Escape from the nest! Alas! It’s not where you belong The one in a standstill Tired of the tedious routines There’s more to life than what it seems Robin’s-egg blue Bracelets of Egypt’s Queen Envisaging quests from a dream Exploit towering cyclones For there lies diamond Jupiter skies Ancient people from the tribes Follow the murmurs of the river But only eagles fly… With eagles

Your descriptive prowess is enviable. I was there in the desert, the night coolant clear. I saw with your eyes. Thank you for this adventure.
