Listen to poem:
Under the dust of time
Drifts a wandering loner
Meandering through life forlorn
Devoid of peace or purpose
Under the dust of sorrow
Lies a hurt barely beating heart
Ravaged by the tides of fate
Shred by the claws of misfortune
Under the dust of despair
She longs for a ray of hope
To dare pierce through darkness
Of survival’s meaningless charade
Deep in her pocket one last token
Thrown into the wishing well ~
