The wandering shifting sands
On which I make my journey
Granules of rock always there
Sparkling like timeless fools gold
Giving me the assurance of stability
So I sit back and let the Camel lead
Sun keeps me in trance-like state
My mind free to wander dreamily
Eyes half closed I see a mirage
Waves from sea, foaming towards me
Ah delightful thought, but unreal
Until a surge of salt water splashes over me
I'm sitting atop a horse drawn carriage
But instead of horses, dolphins are pulling it
Right through the ocean, waves and all
we are skimming over the top i'm ecstatic
Refreshed by the wet ocean breeze
I decide not to question my dream
We come quickly upon a shore I'm in a sleigh
Huskies pulling it over the frozen tundra
Shaking with cold, but excited by the fast ride
An angel says to me "Keep looking up"
I see us off the ground heading towards the sun
The voice whispers " Now your time is done"
Trying to grasp a tree limb I see, I lose my breath
The angel whispers "You can't cheat death"
