Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Free verse

- Desert - So Far the Eye Can See -

Sahara the world's largest - the strictest and warmest desert 
It is an ocean without water - a place of fear blast knuckles on the desert floor 
Eight nomads on camels shrouded in white cloth - only the eyes are visible 
How can they find their way in a landscape without trails - no horizon
Once again the sun set - the camels will create nearly invisible tracks in the sand


The sand dunes are changing during the day 
Experience the unusual beauty and exotic charm  
There is so much that amazes and impresses 
The hot sand is like flour and make the sky yellow misty and foggy solar disk 
And the air quivers with intense heat - sand glistens in wonderful colors
