mediterranean winds sowed it
in a windswept dune
and the sky's veil
bejeweled with infinite stars
circumambulate
layered light upon
the moon planted underneath
desert's parched skin

once a month which bloomed
into a white rose
on night's backdrop
amid distant howls
of awestruck wolves,
and mesmerized lost travellers
without creating a tide
on warm sands
then faded away
to a void which never speaks
