The Bedouin

On a hot summer night
a bedouin did travel
across the dunes of Damascus
and into the valley of kings
riding a camel with one eye

peace be onto you
the pyramids whispered
to a star filled abyss
as the bedouin wandered by

the nights grew warmer
and the sun seemed to play
hide and seek with the moon
dancing with the winds
whispering scripture to God

peace be onto you
said the shepherd to the sheep
while they grazed diligently
as the bedouin wandered by
