In the dry blue desert where it never rains,
Where all that stretches on are the azure plains,
The silky dust of Earth seeps through my hands,
Dry as a husk are the soft sapphire sands.
All that’s not blue is the dead blackened moon,
I never thought I’d hope for another monsoon,
Yet averted they are, God of all Sorrow,
Is my only hope for a stormy tomorrow.
My mind goes insane in the blazing blue sun,
Is this what I deserve after all I’ve done?
My mouth is as bare as the sand ‘neath my feet,
When dawn rises, I will surely dry up in the heat.
As a light drizzle falls, it boils away,
Drained of all moisture, I am the desert’s prey,
So why am I still here? Breathing yet so dry,
My only prayer being that the desert will cry.
The black moon watches me with its careful eye,
Forsaken by God and Goddess, I can’t die,
The sun rises and leaves me with only my fears,
That for eternity, I will never touch the desert’s tears.
