The Sun May Rise Tomorrow

In me a desert, like a sea of sands expands A lone rider, my soul, on camel of desires Panting and thirsty, passes, scanning with aging eyes, The vast panorama for water. Horizons ablaze with mirage mock at my dehydrated limbs. Then on me falls chilling night like a blanket of snow Darkness overpowers speed journey halts, camel bites the dust. I lie on barren land like as only survivor of global holocaust Eternity staring at me with million eyes of stars Slowly chilll surrounds like waters surrounding Sinking ship drowning consciousness into Ubiquitous desolation and death. The sun tomorrow may rise, may mirage burn sans me.
