In The Emirati Desert
November 22, 2019East of Dubai, U. A. E.
Almost to Oman
The sand turns from beige and white
To a reddish hue
So we venture out into the dunes
On a tipsy-turvy roller coaster ride
We find others who share our adventure
In this soft and granular world
Standing in the cool evening air
Makes me feel playful
Like summer snow
Look, the sun is setting
Let us prepare
And act like super heroes
And remember loved ones far away
When this light is gone
We set the night ablaze
And make some new friends
Of a different feather
A truly good night
