Like the Camel

Thirsty as I was, but found vast land of sand with little or no Foliage; with intense sun making it hot, dry and coarse; “Oh, there comes the storm!,”take cover for it can blind or kill. Hooves with padded feet move slowly on the sand as extra energy is supplied by the humps which make it easier and convenient for the beast of burden. Oases I look for, but mirage I see.. Now being abandoned just like half a decade ago, I WILL survive like the camel… Olusegun Arowolo Date:9-16-2014 CONTEST:"IN THE DESERT" sponsored by Nette Onclaud .
