Sun Beat

I walk the desert alone High dense sun I am the only among Struggling, but determined Maneuvering is a hard able Scrawling on the desert sand A rush of a desert wind storm Blowing and swirling Thirst rushes to my mind My eyes visualize an oasis But no quench only imagery found Sweat pours over my body like a running fountain Birds circle overhead waiting until I die to feed on my flesh and bones Drastically trying to survive, but darkness is slowly closing in Hours seem like days My moments full of haze Tears don’t even come down I don’t know where I will find myself Man to Sun, let my soul ever be humble, and solitude prevail I can make it no more Within the sand I soar.
