I Wander the Desert Alone

I wander through the desert of life alone As if, I were a grain of sand, And it, a thriving ocean! I wander through its dunes, letting myself be blown Going wherever it wills, Having no strength to impose upon it, My own will! Why, like it, my heart remains a barren one, Thirsting for the oasis of love, The oasis willed to me by the Mother of Life The oasis into which I shall merge And bloom, Into a vineyard, filled with juicy grapes And intoxicating barrels of wine Meant simply, To entrance love Into the enchantment of my authenticity! I wander through the desert of life alone Having, as inner strength The purpose of love's enactment! For Contest I wander the Desert Alone Sponsored by Edward Ibeh Written on 8th Oct 2018
