A cool breeze fills the sheet
A slight tilt in the keel
Shade envelops the lower deck
Its hard to keep your eyes open
Sailing down the Nile
Desert to the right of me
Desert to the left of me
A thin ribbon of blue in the middle
With many meals shared with others
Sailing down the Nile
Tombs, obelisks, and temples
Dunes, palms, and date trees
Fishermen drifting by
New friendships forged
Sailing down the Nile
