The ballad of Desert
Rages a sea deep inside
Bounded by the walls of nothingness
Existence denied for ages
Freedom to dissolve in abyss
Surrounds all that lives
Harbours all that surrounds
Wearing a wet shroud
It dies everyday to live
Losing part of it day by day
To the chaos, which is pregnant
Struggles to break the shackles
Afraid, void will only grow
Over the vast spread
Sail so many strangers
Cut through him to reach everyday
On the shores of oblivion
Bleeds it, in the dark…..so often
The wounds have lost meaning
To the eye of existence
Seems, it has ceased to exist
