i walk through the midst
of white fitted jungle
bone -dry, moisture less
desert land stretching eternally
for miles and miles
the intense heat of the sun
blazes on me, as the
blue sky watches me down,
time stood still
feeling the only
creature with heart beating
upon the heat,
i felt the warmth
of the world enveloping
my being,
i walk alone
alone no more.
the world as we know
may have turned into a desert,
barren, dull, dreary
bare, arid and dry
but with our hearts beating collectively as one,
one humanity, one soul
one spirit, one hope,
one love
the world as we know it
will be just right back
waiting.
