mists weave
and part
revealing
monoliths stark in their loneliness
breathing stone whispering pasts
each shadow an enigma
etched by time
carved by winds
the desert holds its breath
sand sighs
over smooth ground
a canvas untouched
revered forgotten
sun rises mists recede
shadows lengthen
truths half-revealed
symbols fade secrets
drawn in lines
the weight of ages heavy
pressing down
ancient stones
pillars of mystery
human touch lost to sands
sun descends
light wanes
mists return
the veil draws close again
secrets shrouded
awaiting another dawn
