beneath the desert skies of night

the journeyman wanders alone

lost in a mysterium

cold as a wintered frost bleak

upon the planet of his birth

he greets another man bent in the opposite direction

they tarry for a moment

and compare their earthly transists

a lady and a child nameless at the fellows side

are worn beneath the anvil of the Sun

they sleep with no story to volunteer

save the hope

carved on the face of their silent dreams
