The Ship of the Desert

The ship of the desert. Camels are known for their extraordinary patience and being the ones who can travel for days on end in the desert without water. It can do this because it is accepting of things that it knows it cannot control. 

Desert conditions present many unique opportunities for it to practice patience, and like the camel, we should always look out for them. 

To add, the camel is always mindful that it has to wait for things and has an even temper. It copes with the adversities of the desert by taking a step back when it needs to. 

The ship of the desert

Deftly carries its cargo

Worried not about hazards

It quietly docks in the desert port

Knowing not what lies within

Giving the lack of water no thought

But it pays heed

To the places and times

It must soul seek

Its decorum even

And form still sturdy

Always in keeping

Lifts its hoofs in backward step

When the way forward is uncleaptr

Knows that restless rush is not apt

Through sandy water the ship will sail

No matter the desert weather

Though sandstorms may assail

Its sturdy hull never fails.
