The Saharan Desert

Bouncing up in down on a camels back
As he strolls through the desert
Tents in the distance
And then we arive
The smell of vegetables and meat cooking on a fire, this meal called Tagine
The warmth of the fire on my skin
After dinner listen to drums beating away in a drum circle
And then going to lay on a log and I see
Brilliant bright stars shining brighter than I ever seen before
The taste of peppermint tea still in my mouth
The sound of camels snoring in the distant
The feeling of the wind on my face and sand in between in my toes
Amazement welling up inside me
Is this real?
I can't believe I am laying beneath the stars of the Saharan dessert right now
Did I really ride a camel to get here?
Life is pretty wild sometimes
I want to keep this moment forever
