Bedouin Life

Once again we rose at the same time as the sun,
Perusing further through the desert,
Traveling from dusk until dawn,
Continuing to ride on our camels.


There was nothing but the sand
And we had just one task in hand,
To make it safely through the dunes
And arrive at the oasis before noon.


After a week, the sun was burning the life out of us
And we were running out of water.
We've went this way so many times
What happened this time, travelers?


We continued for nine more days
We didn't reach our destination
Some of us were loosing faith,
Some were running out of patience.


The tenth day the wind blew so hard
And the camels refused to get up
The sand blocked any chance to see
And the heat seemed to strangle me.


It took away all our supplies,
As well as, our hopes and dreams.
We felt ashamed, we're disgrace,
But we heard something in the wind.


I don't know if it was our savior,
Or maybe a sign from God.
But we woke up lavished with water
And the rest I can't recall.


We managed to complete our task,
And bravely continued to this day,
To safely move from place to place
Searching for a better space.
