FREEDOM, by                    
First Line: Winds of the waste land, sweep over me
Last Line: To await the dawning of a star.
Subject(s): Deserts; Food & Eating


Winds of the waste land, sweep over me,
shatter my dreams and set me free;

free as the cactus, barb-enshrined,
guarding an inner strength of mind;

free as the wandering desert trail
to build my hopes and dare to fail;

free as the desert silences are
to await the dawning of a star.
