another day lived through

and I feel it in my bones

all that hunger and thirst

all that wanting for pure

warmth of food that washes down my throat

quenching of thirst born out of cold

that little pebble strewn in the path

and that tiny diamond shining through the night

another day lived through and through

is it the evening that calls out aloud

or that old shaggy expression on my mind

do I conquer my own shallow depths

or do I climb the ghosts of sand dunes

as I set my foot to traverse through this maze

as I scribble one more innocent page

I visit a falsehood

a notion of arrival

and my eyes set themselves

on that blankness infinite…..
