The shifting sands and yellow stone,

Shone brightly beneath golden capstone,

Yet ghostly towns arise and fall,

Through shifting sands among the sprawls.

****

Treasures deep in murky tombs,

Spell out many adventurers doom,

Mystery and magic, traders and more,

With glyphs of warning upon the door.

****

Tread quick, tread careful,

For if you’re lucky or able,

Riches await under the land,

In deep dark tombs, or dunes of sand.
