Egypt from the Air MAG
July 14, 2009
Serene hopelessness blown over miles and miles,
The sand giving rise to both
The desire to escape,
The peaceful acceptance of eternal nothingness.
And suddenly –
Cities,
Oases,
Civilizations sprout up,
Fed by isolation and compressed by it;
Barriers of nature
Struggling to conquer
Unyielding passion and imagination
Of the human heart.
