Desert Poem by K B Manchanda

Treading alone

on the sand dunes

following the footprints

of desert ship

I find my shadow

following me in

the moonlit night



I dragged myself

and I dragged my shadow

I dragged my soul

from the world's

treachery and fouls

I wish I could

reach my ultimate goal



At last the morning

ray touched me

and brings in a

ray of hope

of being alive

and to drag myself

for another day

uncertainties which hold



The heat started

growing strong

I am not daunted

no matter the day prolongs

with excessive heat

makes my feet

blistered and bleed



I won't stop

I won't stay

I won't halt

I will follow the path

of truth

no matter I stand

alone n the ruck



My destiny is

To tread forward

and

Nothing else matters
