The Nomad

Just a stranger in a strange land

A thousand miles of desert sand

With only the stars to guide me

And a thirst for life inside me

The moon eclipsed the desert air

Then from my lips a silent prayer

Enlightenment I do beseech

The precipice that I might reach

No boundaries that I can see

This desert wind has set me free

A wanderer without a home

A thousand miles for me to roam

Philosophically, we are all nomads wandering through life. There's plenty of sand to go around. I like this poem, Randy.

Thanks David, Maybe as long as you can keep the sand out of your drawers.
