The atmosphere is pregnant with uncertainty
Of what tomorrow brings forth
A herdsman leads his malnourished goats
Into their pens with their fable cries...

The smell of the first meeting

Scotching heat, burning sand
Curse this never ending land 
Though we walk, we walk in vain
Thirst of life bringing us pain

We search for life's great oasis...

Blue skies shrouds me from vile heat 
Cotton candy clouds
