Golden sands swallow
A diamond hiding
It from the reach of
The girl who
Will perish without
The magic of the light
From the diamond
Hiding within the sands
Golden sands swallow
A diamond hiding
It from the reach of
The girl who
Will perish without
The magic of the light
From the diamond
Hiding within the sands
The sand
Stares back at me
Haunting
Taunting
They all build in mounds
Calling the time to their will
Catch the sun
And burn my feet
Reminding me
I stepped wrong
If only you could see
The stars when it rained
The purity & clarity
To wash your soul and tears
I feel sand between fingers
And a beach with endless shores
Just to touch the water
Feel the breeze
Wishes for me
Let there be stars when it rains
The wide-open desert is very cold in summer
Look at all the footsteps you’ve left behind
Feel the grains of sand go between your toes
I miss winter, the warmth it brings
The sun is beating on my back. I can’t stop
Where are the delirious?
I see no oasis in the distance
Just move sand to put behind me
Nightfall is so far away
My mind can’t rest then
I miss my warmth
The desert is so cold
Each step away
Sinks further into quicksand
Each vine I grab for
Breaks sooner
And I fall deeper
Trying not to disturb the sand
Still I know
I am being buried alive
