Sand

On the coarse terrain of sand
there are no clouds nor any rain
ah, just a few little dirty hand
and this extreme, dry arid terrain
in expanse all we see is sand
and the light that is land's gain
ends in a horizon in sand's land
here camel back is a lived pain
with humps filled water and sand
desert ships trained to sustain pain
unattended crossing sea of sand
in day and night what they gain
in search of oases in sand's land
all is lost in that one drop of rain
that seeps rarely across this sand
