Crossed By Forward

Walking in the light.

Shining from the moon.

My footprints are fading.

I am scarred by hate.

Blood is flowing on the 
dunes.

Sand clocks the hand of 
time.

Every hour shows me 
the sign.

Displayed in one 
second.

My life.

My mess.

Straight through the 
bends.

I have the knife.

Nailed into my back.

Scared to move towards.

What lies in the front.

Beyond the path.

Crossed by forward.
