I walk in the pain
The desert brings
As I thirst Risking life
In quick sands.
There! in the Arid heat
Dangers prevail
Where vipers and scorpion dwells.
Forging ahead Towards unknown
Lost are my faded footprints
Covered by nomadic winds
In desert storms.
Traveling
In direction unknown
The cold of night, Ease the pain
Of the burning sun
Branded upon my flesh.
The heavens become a theater
My vision is blest
With a Galaxy of stars
To lead my way .
In my shivering night
I am not lost
Till the sun once again
Torments my soul
Into another cycle of hell.

William, I like your metaphor in this writing, nights can change the mind, causing bad dreams of the happenings of a terrible day. I think you did a great job on this writing!
I can relate to the metaphor of this...the taking solace in the night and dreams after being tortured by the reality during the day...outstanding write here my friend.

A people’s heart can be found in their poetic words. In history men and women have stood firmly upon their soapboxes and street corners, rallying the deepest beliefs of people to rise up and be heard. The poetrypages.com has offered that voice a new
