Transcript

Hello everyone. My name is Prailos, also known as Pro. In this video, I will read out a poem that I just composed. In case you don't know, I write poetry and publish it on my website, protilos.com. Specifically, there is a section dedicated to my poems, proteilos.com/poems. This is poem 100 and is titled Desert Wind. At the temple of the goddess, while desert wind burns through your skin, become the mirror that [clears throat] reflects light towards the heavens where the twin sisters claim their dominion and remain steadfast in the knowledge that shifting sands mislead only those who ignore the stars. This is it folks. Thank you very much for your attention. Take care and goodbye for now.
