Night in the Desert

When the scorching sun sets,
A cool darkness falls upon the desert.
Winds settle in the night,
Gently passing to and fro.

One traveler rests his tired legs,
And lays down his heavying head
Upon the cool desert sands.

Underneath this vast desert bed,
The trickle of streams can be heard,
Beneath a settled, lonesome world.

But when the sun rises,
The waves rise again,
On a waterless beach
Filled with sand.
