where i belong
returning to where i belong
golden deserts with sleepy camels
bewitched oases as green as paradise
tall palm trees with broad shoulders
& a lonely sobbing sea
haunted by silver seagulls at every dusk
indulged in ancient wisdom of nomads
i wander restlessly conquering time
until the end of the world
where we will meet again
dissolving in a midsummer night's dream
