Revelations in Rhyme

by Thor Castlebury

Through the desert they roam Beneath the blistering sun Lost souls searching for home In sands that constantly run Rays of sunlight scorch their skin As the dunes whisper secrets untold Each step further, deeper within In this mysterious world they unfold Mirage's illusions taunt and deceive Their tired minds fall prey Yet they continue to believe That salvation lies at the end of the day Timeless journey, endless quest The shifting sands hold their fate In this arid land they invest Hoping to find peace and escape
