The Gobi desert
Pui Kiu College, Eugene Liu, Poetry: Group 3
The golden sands of the desert land,
Look prettier under the radiance of the setting sun.
Objects cast their shadows, before the night arrives,
A man looks at his footprints and realizes they’re his blight.
His feet sink into the sand, with very step he makes,
When the wind blows across the desert, his way back home fades.
Why is he there?
He asks himself the question and sheds a tear.
A long lost love? Yes that’s it.
He is searching for someone, he can’t quit.
The thought that he might be alive,
Is the reason he won’t sit down, is the reason he has to try.
Memories of him and her cross his mind,
Then disappear into the desert before his eyes.
He looks up and sees an endless terrain,
Every day he hopes for rain.
His steps slow down, so does his breath. He knows that he is bound,
But he cannot stop. For he is lost until she’s found.
