Sensei of the Desert 🌵
I have secured my place in this beautiful wasteland
Unphased by the passing of time, I wait for answers under the shade of the sun
Limited but limitless in my attempt
To understand what it means to exist
In a place that holds little life
Always clear nights to gather wisdom from the stars
So those who eat my flesh go mad with my secrets
A piece of me may be lost
But I must sacrifice myself so you may know the truth
This is my curse but a blessing to provide a beacon for those who dare not touch me
What a world, to be exposed but feel so safe
Impossibly immortal in my element
I am the sensei of the desert
