Sinking Sands

Your cries, You crawl Light feets set to fly high Solid feels the sands beneath All we do, play and wish Wish unveiled with passing skies, Not as a twinkling tale Your soles are down Heavy are steps taken Ups and downs, Fore feels straight and deep All we do, pray and strive Striving for the wind More gasps, more joy Knee-deep in this sands Praying not to drown Your struggles sinks fast All we do, more wind Wind for air Life's breath you take A thousand sand-bites in eyes Pitch black, I am down In sinking sands All we do, live to die ©Kofi Asokwa-Nkansah
