Desert Intervention

Only to my thoughts I pry To leave me here to rot and die The twinkling stars in the night sky Allow this weary traveler rest I realize trials happen to the best I can't forgive the night's test The stars in the night sky drest As though they were made to shine A presence waits from heaven divine Who bore a scary resemblance to Frankenstein I thought I met my deadline Until he spoke as one would guide A desperate attempt to live I cried To let me live for inside My village waits for me my beautiful bride Well not yet but in August we wed "If you want to make it out alive." He said Look no farther than the tear you shed Your own courage will guide you to the riverbed There is no hurt when there's room to try Only to my thoughts I pry To leave me here to rot and die The twinkling stars in the night sky Will guide me back the way I came
