I followed my dreams to the dessert
Where the muse was too thirsty to speak
Where I found the dehydrated expert
Alone, exhausted, and weak
I realized I needed more water
And so I set off to the sea
Through fiery sands I wandered
Until storming waves swallowed me
On the ocean I sought my ambitions
Hoping it’d quench all my thirst
Only to realize my visions
By the sea were too deeply submersed
Surviving the shipwreck, I traded
My dreams to the pirates for land
They left me and easily faded
Marooned on a lonely island
And now once again I am burning
My will and my muse have lost strength
Why did I follow such yearning?
And travel this terrible length?
The temptress of fortune and glory
Possessed me to think I can’t fail
But now all that’s left of my story
Are traces of a half-written tale
I followed my dreams to the dessert
And all I have left is a pen
I’ll finish my life on this paper
Then bottle it and let the sea have it again
2017
