A POEM FOR THE WASTELANDERS

Do you know?

Somewhere between the realms of earth and sea
There is a doorway
Somewhere beyond the dusty trail of a dying star
A world of silence awaits
A cry
A breath
The sound of life
A new light
Suspended in a breathless absence of wind
On the edge
of time



Love tears at your soul
screams for embrace
rushes to your heart
slips away in a swirl of dust
and echoes to the past with a soft whisper
it's a fragrance of madness
carried away in a desert land
breathless and frantic
alone and scared
until it meets with destiny



The breeze was warm and soft as a late summer afternoon. Even after the sun had set, the wind insisted on gently whispering to the unexpected visitor, as if aware of the fragility of the human being stranded on the timeless land. Spread out on the sand, I watched in awe as the plain fell asleep in a blanket of purples and reds. An awesome silence embraced the world, a unique absence of sounds echoed by the quiet song of the wind. I have never heard a silence so full of meaning...
I struggled to keep my eyes open to watch until the last purple ray disappeared on the horizon. But the exhaustion of a long journey surrendered to the wind's gentle lullaby.
There is a place where time does not exist. A place where you can listen to the sound of your soul.
