The Golden City

Orange hues of the horizon The sure steps of the camels in the sand Walking their way through A vast expanse of the desert. A soothing lake in the middle Surrounded by beautiful arches . A gift from a generous king Bringing relief to his people . Carved and interlocked sandstones Inviting and open courtyards ; Sprinting fountains in the centre Flowing through the sands of time . Glittering and colorful work of artisans on the streets Puppets and umbrellas guiding your way up To a view of the golden city . Tales of valour and strength Flowing across generations inside a living fort. Gushes of pride and honor In every resident till date .
