Dessert
In this arid expanse, where life's essence is drained,
I wander, a lost soul, forever unchained.
The desert's embrace, a relentless sea of brown,
Engulfs me, in its barren grasp, I drown.
Granules of sand, like time's relentless flow,
Cover my body, from head to toe.
Each breath I take, a dusty, arid gust,
Leaving me breathless, in this desert's trust.
Oxygen tainted by the earth's cruel crust,
I gasp for air, in this desolate thrust.
My parched lips part, but only powder escapes,
A silent hymn of despair, as my spirit drapes.
With knees to the ground, I succumb to the land,
Letting the sand claim me, in its arid hand.
Mummified in this moment, my vessel now still,
In the heart of the desert, I find a tranquil thrill.
Amidst the vast emptiness, I become one,
With the sands of time, my journey is done.
In this desert's embrace, I find my reprieve,
A solace in stillness, a moment to believe.
