A Road To Desert
Someday the street of my back of heart
Would join a road to dried desert yard
Where the days transit soul to sunlight
And shivers of shying nights fly to fight
Strange plants leaned for wish of water
And a pale faced cloth of sand as smarter
Where sun is the king in its whole history
The ways are hidden unsolved mystery
Birds are silent singer and wind as prayer
And the breath of earth can be felt there
And a decaying cliff is used for a meadow
Where even the breeze looks for a shadow
The little ponds are filled by leeches' latch
So the thirst is quenched by a blood fetch
Where the mansions of sands on to clamor
And echo of cry looks like when wind more
