Wasteland

The world above is cloudless,

And the sun is oh so high.

Blistering with fire's touch,

The land below is dry.

But lo, the sound of thunder.

The flash of lightning grand.

Will the heavens give refreshment,

Upon the desert sands?

Alas, the clouds don't open,

The ground bellow's unmarked.

The sun continues shining,

Casting shadows stark.

In death remains the desert,

In death the ruins grand.

Through death walks the traveller,

Across the desert sands.
