He stumbled along,
Knees in furious protest as they scrub
Hard earth.
Fumbling through unending mazes
In search of the place.
Famished stomach rumbling
Like thunder
Bread and wine ,
A faint stroke on hunger's canvas
For a kingly banquet merely mocks
A parched soul
The wilderness lies ahead
Echoes of eons past reach out beyond deep caves


He trudged along
Gazed locked on some distant horizon
Hollow eyes that announces a vacancy for a soul
Hope looms yet ahead
Alluring yet amorphous
Down meandering valleys haunted by love's ghost
Up jagged hills in hope of the place
Like the sunset,
The spirit flails in dainty dance
Running ahead to the place
In final salute to the stars
Earth's final whisper rings as she opens up
