Tell me again
why I am standing in a bitter wind
sand flying all over
and around me
trying to fasten a saddle
on this stubborn camel
trying to keep my goods
from being lost to the desert.
Best robes and turbans
packed and still I wonder
will I really need them
where I am going,
off on some journey
where I am not sure of
what is to be found...
or whom?
There was the dream,
there was the voice that
well, seemed to speak
with such authority,
with such crystal clarity
I could not help myself
but move with purpose
to follow, of all things...
A star, immense,
stunningly bright
the effulgence of which
never have I seen.
Across the open dunes
we wonder, what is beneath
that star...
What will we find there,
some miracle, some treasure
a fortune teller, a prince?
Too early to tell
So we wait...
Wondering...
