Lost – A New Poem

Wandering the desert

Alone and without sight

How did I arrive here?

Filled with anger and fright

*

My boots are too heavy

And the sand stings my eyes

Words no longer matter

Built of nothing but lies

*

To my knees I stumble

Come now deliverance

It’s the unvarnished truth

I am my own hindrance

*

Rolling onto my back

Staring through pain and hurt

Vultures begin their dance

My death in this desert

*
