It was impossible, it seemed to me, that twilight came so swiftly; And with it coolness of the night, and relief from restless drifting.
Wrapped in a towel of perspiration, I lay on the desert's mounds of sand; The crescent moon became my friend, while watching it curve just like my hand.
But whispering wraiths arrived to haunt, my vivid dreams of black and white; Exposed to the darkness up above, where nothing appeared quite right.
The moon dissolved in silent tears, while shedding its silver sheen; And with a touch of Merlin's wand, gathered waters so clear and clean.
The desert rain fell with intent, to wash away my mortal dread; Dripping down from the crescent's mirror, to reflect upon my earthly bed.
When I awoke it was eerily quiet, the towel around me had dried; No longer alone in a desert world, I reached up and touched the sky.
