facing the desert on the wings of a dream

Doubt cakes my tongue
I fly
On vapor wings of dream
Fearing the emptiness ahead
More than any angel warning
Desert drags us far away
From all that once felt sure
Safety only
Words of dream
Waking midnight mind-
Fools quest?
Shielding the crying ones
From scorching sun
I ask-
Can the tyrant burn like this?
