Desertwalker
By nkronsch
She, Desertwalker
Alone she strides
Through hallowed sands
As a dry wind cries:
"O, Desertwalker?
Where doth thee go?
Doth not Solaris
Bring heated sweat to
Thy furrowed brow?"
Yet she strides on
unhearing, unheard
As a dry wind cries
Of her journey absurd:
"O, Desertwalker
Where doth thee go?
Ye know vengeanceseeds
in sand sown won't grow!"
Yet she strides on
unhearing, unheard
As the dry wind dies
With a final whisper:
"o desertwalker
soon ye'll know
the words i speak
as your mind goes
are the final truth
ye'll ever know"
Yet she strides on
unhearing, unheard
Until a thought
Occurs to her:
"O, Desertwalker
Ye are the wind
Ye're on a path
of madness sin
Your mind has gone
are ye even alive?
Like the sand
ye're withered inside."
And she stops
With a final cry of anguish
Gives in to the temptation
and dies as the rain pours

On the sand.
Her tr cks d ss p e r
And even her legacy
Is
