Chapter 181

Sand In The Wind

The relentless hot blistering sun beats down
Baking the dry thirsty dirt till it cracks
The weight of daily life is a heavy burden
Upon the heart, mind and soul it attacks

Alone in the endless wilderness is deadly
A horse is led to water but does not drink
The seeing are blind, the hearing are deaf
The intelligent are unable to clearly think

Those that are not nurtured, watered or fed
Grow weary and weak, soon left for dead
Confusion and anxiety fills the mind and head
The writing is on the wall, even if unsaid

They grovel with uncertainty and fear
Hope, beauty and joy they rescind
Their house of cards collapsing, turning to dust
Love and caring fade away, like sand in the wind

Nobody
