Dust Country
Hot air bombards me My face burns,as if I have just been slapped. I raise my eyes to the fiery golden orb that sits In the center Struggle to breathe for a few seconds The hot air wooshing into my lungs Trudging across the large , uneven expanse of land, I see nothing but desert ahead of me My bear feet sink Sink Sink Into the golden sand that shimmers and shifts with the Wind in the noonday sun Like the glimmering, shimmering,sapphire ocean There is beauty here..
The pyramids loom above me, their insurmountable peaks seeming to touch the sky These once magnificent structures now crumbling, yet still retaining that stately, age old Beauty that people come from miles away to see Do I dare to enter? Inside, t The walls are engraved with symbols, concave Shapes, carved into crumbling Brown walls These drawings, shrouded in myth and Mystery, fascinate me Pharaohs depicted in all their regal glory This is the story of this once fertile land People rest here , mummified Their souls seeping into the shadowy after life, One left to remember them Everything seems to have lost a little of its color Yet somehow,in this place where time stands still Everything is sharply defined to the Tiniest detail
When the time comes to leave this place Where Ihave come to feel at home I am reluctant to depart The Imperial facades of the pyramids shrink as I move Farther away, getting smaller And smaller And smaller Diminishing in my sight as I know they will at some point Diminish from my memory There is beauty here.
A vibrant land ringed with hints of its mysterious past Quiet as the tombs that hold its ancient rulers It is ageless, timeless, exquisite It is Meroe .... .... .... Where ancient history and myth meet Civilization and modern-day culture Where people of all tribes, tongues, and nations converge Where all are welcomed and cherished as one This beautiful arid land Is for ever imprinted in my mind Now as much a part of me as my eyes, my hands, my Heart Are a part of me I will never forget Sudan >>>>B
