Desert Trek
I started out one sunset
to cross this barren land;
trudged in dark night's coolness
across the burning sand.
Three more days 'til I reach
oasis that I seek.
Sleeping days, walking nights;
it's been a long, dry week.
Now the sun is rising
and I must take my rest.
Sleep until next sunset
and then resume my quest.
