Desert Trekker
A vultures patience in hand,
My naive soul wanders in sand
Into a vast desert of life.
Battling in strife,
Through sand and dust storms.
A trekker of me it transforms.
Impelled into cactuses incarnation
And hence surviving long thirst duration.
At times, enduring the scorpions sting
And all other hazards that spring.
A calloused heart I now possess.
With experience, the future I bravely assess.
Deception of the mirages
No longer deceive my eyes.
I can see through the dust,
For I have gone through worst.
With globules of faith and determination,
An oasis I will find at my destination.

I like the metaphor of the dessert for life. We can be blinded but must journey onward.

You walk through the desert and you ended up clean on the other side. Keep on writing.
