"THE DESERT HAS EYES"


 Across the land, voyaging Into the hotness of the 
 Powerful sun,

 I tread slowly so that I do not perish on my quest to  
 Finish, To weather the storm.

 Many things' of Interest as I make my way through 
 This obstacle,

 Of rocks' and plants' born to this world of natural 
 Wonder.

 By myself I've traveled for what appears' to be a 
 Lifetime,

 While the suns' now sinking Into the night as a cool 
 Breeze awakes.

 There's a fear being a prisoner to the Intense darkness, 
 The loneliness,

 Am I alone with what Inhabits' these surroundings', 
 They're watching.

 There are many eyes fixed on me, friend or foe, how  
 Shall I know,

 Some keep their distance, not wanting to attack, others' 
 Are stalking.

 Seeking to steal or cause great pain.


 I've seen the living proof, I'll make It to 
 Where I'm going.
