Desert Plains

Desert Plain

As I walk through this desert plain,
Finding possibilities in the corner of the sky.
A raindrop falls into my hand
And gives me a splash of envy
Of how I once walked
Without the eyes of others
Watching my careless mistakes.
Now my life is theirs
As i trip into the puddles
And stumble through the desert plains.
The sunrises that can mark the beginning and the end.
How many sunrises are left?
Can my eyes still see how much beauty is left in this plain?
I'm losing the shimmering lights
That lit my way
They are fading into the darkness
For the eternal sleep of forever.
Can there be more power
That my soul can bestow
Difficult world
And the mountains to climb.
The final straw is not yet to come,
But the last step could be a close one
In my walk through this desert plain.
