Beyond the Known

 

A painful cry breaks free…

With no leaves on evening so frosty,

I’m cold,  can you see?

 

Old creases cut through,

Memories past hurt anew,

A Bird: friend so true.

 

Hooves run across the fields…

A camel dies, blazing sun kills;

Heart of desert beats.

 

He pleads ‘no’, she goes…

Boom! A sound through the greens echoes –

They strike. His heart chokes.

 

Waves break on the shore,

She slowly loses herself

To the sands of time.
