Desert Fire

Desert filled with fallen seeds,

( Children that our love has bred, )

roasted by the sun’s glare,

( imprisoned souls asking for help, )

cracking open is what they seek

( let them escape, they’ve been prepared, )

blessing granted by your flare.

( mighty Djinn of strength unpaired. )
