Desert Trekker

A vultures patience in hand, My naive soul wanders in sand Into a vast desert of life. Battling in strife, Through sand and dust storms. A trekker of me it transforms. Impelled into cactuses incarnation And hence surviving long thirst duration. At times, enduring the scorpions sting And all other hazards that spring. A calloused heart I now possess. With experience, the future I bravely assess. Deception of the mirages No longer deceive my eyes. I can see through the dust, For I have gone through worst. With globules of faith and determination, An oasis I will find at my destination.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
