Desert Sunset - 16 August 2004

the desolate wind sweeps across the desert
picking up dust, leaves and the occassional call
of a lost bird
and yet,
I am left standing,
waiting for that which will not come.

tired.

the fleeting and warm smile of the unknown
lends me a helping hand in my quest across the desert,
as the gold leaves my fingertips
the cold night surrounds me
and I sit
waiting for the next sunrise.

haha. i just saw this now. it's not a poem - I just enjoy splitting sentences up into different lines.

it makes one think a lot more than usual.
