Desert Wanderer

By Chris Kramer

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Reddish hues heat the landscape around A whirling dervish crawls ... with a low, dusty sound Footprints mark, until the winds blow Sending a message ... no one will know Desert Wanderer A nomad without home A grain in a sand pile A recluse to roam Scattered memories, buried under years Finding stack upon stack .... hope and fears Desolate land solace, no one seeking position Never blind-sided ... by power and ambition Desert Wanderer A nomad without home A grain in a sand pile A recluse to roam Parched lips, barely able to utter Spewing structured gibberish ... with slurred stutter Desert fever rising, relief required soon Medicinal salve needed ... a cool crescent moon Desert Wanderer Searching deep within Survival, the reward ...
