Desert Night

Inspired by the first part of the song "Scars of Time".

I'm sitting alone in the desert night

The city lights so far away.

I may seem cold and shivering,

But the moonlight keeps me warmer

Than the sunlight of the day.

I gaze up at the stars that my friends left behind

As they all tell me stories

Lost to the sands of time.

All is at peace here in the desert sands.

The moonbeams fall like snowflakes

As I stare at the Milky Way bands.

Not a whisper is heard

As the starlight falls on the moonlit sand,

Yet something sings to me in that silence.

Something sings in the desert quiet...

Author's Note

I know I have a bit of a flow problem here.
