I couldn’t walk across
the surface at first
Of this land
I couldn’t attempt the waters
I wouldn’t have stood a chance
The frankincense tree’s I value for
The aroma of the grounds
The dragon’s blood trees
throw their hands
Catching moisture
These trees won’t keep me
alive for long
This island is so different to
where I’m from
These trees won’t keep me
alive for long
This island is so different to
where I’m from
I found my way
through the arid Zahr Plain
Where the heat had taken its toll
Hunger crept upon me
The mishhahir was so close
This succulent has served
the inhabitants
The monachus told me so
These trees won’t keep me
alive for long
This island is so different to
where I’m from
These trees won’t keep me
alive for long
This island is so different to
where I’m from
These trees won’t keep me
alive for long
This island is so different to
where I’m from
