Sea Full of Sand
ICHK-Hong Lok Yuen, Britt Doets, Poetry: Group 2
I am a girl in a sea full of sand.
Lost,
trying to find my way back,
back home.
I am a girl in a sea full of sand
all alone,
walking in circles around
still lost for many
days,weeks,months years maybe.
I am a girl lost in a sea full of sand
over dead tired
but still on my feet.
I am a girl lost in a sea full of sand,
my footsteps deep in the sand
act as signposts
I am a girl lost in a sea full of sand,
the wind blowing my tracks away
so I can’t trace them.
I am a girl in a sea full of sand
letting the wind push me
every twist and turn the wind makes, I go.
I am a girl lost in a sea full of sand
looking for one drop of water,
just like the last drop of water that jumps out of the tap
I am a girl in a sea full of sand
I almost saw the end,
not the end from the Gobi Desert but the end of the tunnel the light.
I am a girl lost in a sea full of sand
almost seeing the end
I suddenly see it
the one drop of precious water on a Saxaul tree.
