Walking barefoot
In this Death March
Paraded Shelterless –
Hungry and Parched!
A Figure in the distance
Of Shades and Hues
Approached Me –
Image was skewed!
Someone – Somewhere
Sent this one
Bringing Elixir to me –
Challenging the sun!
It fed me – I drank
Contents that it offered
It relieved me of All –
The Past – I had suffered!
I thought – I had Overcome
That it was – here to Stay
After a few Minutes though
It started – walking Away!
I looked back at it – and asked
If it could offer me More?
It Vanished in thin air
Here – my feet were still Sore!
I turned my head – Before me
Miles and miles – Untrodden
I wondered – Why it didn’t Stay?
Was I so much – a Burden?
