As the sun does rise
the bitter cold does scurry away
driven out by rays of the warmth of day
Dirt
Sand
Rocks
Steps
Trails
Stones
Footfalls create a beat with your breath
step after step you descend
leaving naught but a trail of dust.
Mountains
Camels
Cats
Crosses
Shops
Goats
Mountains appear at your back
Stone walls of a monastery grow
Civilization reappears cloaked in a halo.
Having watched the sunrise from atop Mount Sinai and hiked down the steps of penitence we finally arrived at St Catherine's monastery in the heart of the St. Katherine Protectorate. Looking up on where we had just been we were surrounded by sandy desert mountains, the only faces appearing from them, inside the rocks themselves.
