The desert ran on for years
An expanse as wide as the mind
Where time weighed down with stellar mass
But brought no change
In the distance of the night
Desire lit the way
Warmed the cold that lingered
Desire that was a half-dream
Giving flight to a wingless man
And it all just ran on
Far into the breadth of the sky
And into the deep of the heart
A craft of light and love
But solidified and unending
