Journey of the lone
in the hot desert land.
No shady tree of
support or protection
on her trail.
Scorching sun
above her head.
Hot blistering sand
at every step.
She has vowed to
make the journey
despite the perils.
It is the journey she
has chosen to take.
For despite the blisters
on her feet and
burning skin on her face
she knows the truth
that her heart
and her soul
will find their solace
only by taking
this journey of the lone
in this hot desert land.
