Analysis of Wasteland
It’s not an emotional wasteland yet.
It still blooms the most beautiful flowers and
homes birds singing the sweetest of their songs.
It has the grassland that touches the horizon
through which blows the most soothing breeze.
It still brings solace to the weariest traveler,
whose feet are bleeding.
Just because you don’t see,
it won’t cease to exist.
