Desert Savior: A Wanderer's Plight
#WritcoPoemPrompt22
by @jasmineshri..

He drops on the sandy folds,
Of a deathly bed,
A lost traveler of a mighty desert,
Parched throat, cracked skin,
He is his own Messiah,
Or another vagabond victim.

The sun beats down relentlessly,
As he struggles to stand,
But the weight of his journey,
Is too much for his weary body.

In the distance, a mirage shimmers,
Taunting him with false hope,
But he knows better now,
He must rely on himself alone.

Dust swirls around him,
As he crawls towards the horizon,
Each step a battle,
Against the unforgiving landscape.

He knows not where he came from,
Or where he is headed,
But he carries on,
A survivor in a world of predators.

He drops on the sandy folds,
Of a deathly bed,
A lost traveler of a mighty desert,
Parched throat, cracked skin,
But still, he pushes forward,
His spirit unbroken,
A testament to the resilience,
Of the human soul.
