Sandy shades of dust speckle the ground and gallant tones of green dot the landscape from which the scent of olives ooze, before mixing with the aromas of musk, distant Morocco and the comical smell of burning tires. At dusk, I was driven by a blind taxi driver, judging by his driving, along a road which seemingly stretched through the sea whilst seagulls dove for food before the final setting of the sun. That morning, I had strolled along golden sands and watched tides sweep over my feet, I saw white robbed men close their eyes and wrap themselves in prayer and peace. I saw the sun rise and pour its rays over the tombs of those who had long since gained eternal rest. A simple life witnessed, with riches extending far beyond the grasp of materialism.
The sun rises over setting souls,
white waves sweep over strange scents,
gulls are savages on all shores.

Shandy shades of dust speckle the ground
And gallant tones of green
Dot the landscape
From which the scent of olives ooze,
Before mixing with the aromas of musk,
Distant Morocco
And the comical smell of buring tires.
At dusk,
I am driven by a blind taxi driver-
Judging by his driving-
Along a road
Which seemingly stretches through the sea
Whilst seagulls dive for food
Before the final setting of the sun.
That morning,
I had strolled along golden sands
And watched tides sweep over my feet,
I saw white robbed men
Close their eyes
And wrap themselves
In prayer and peace.
I saw the sun rise
And pour its rays
Over the tombs of those
Who had long since gained
Eternal rest.
A simple life witnessed,
With riches extending far beyond
The grasp of materialism…
