The Beast of the Sands of Time

The beast of the desert of the sands of time, bathes in the well of wisdom.

When he gets bored, he dives to the deep, the dark of the water where company sleeps.

Above through the dark of the depths of the dive, light slithers through just to keep them alive.

A song plays and the water ripples. The light dances and the company dies.

The beasts must keep the company asleep or it will rise and breach the surface.

They will bask in the warmth of the desert and age, as the beast has done many times before.

They will dry out and crumble and become the same.

They will be whisked away and returned to the depths, in time.
