I wish I could carry
Some of your load
The tent or the food
As we trudge down this road
Your boots or your packs
The water or saddle
To give you time away
From this sand blown battle
Just 5 minutes would do
To give you some peace
With only your rose
And the chance just to breathe
I lack money for donkeys
Or a mule to give peace
To lighten the weight
You so desperately need
We travel together
In this cold desert wind
Both so haggard
And in need of some sin
And yet we march on
To the glorious pool
Hoping it’s there
Respite and water cool
To sit by the pool
And rest and regroup
Two camels kissing
Before our journey renews
