New Tales of the Gobi Desert
SKH Lam Woo Memorial Secondary School, Wong Ka Yiu, Poetry: Group 3
A never-ending trace of loneness,
Lies in the everlasting Gobi Desert, with its
Endless stretch of bare terrain,
And dunes hat seems to go on forever.
A two-humped companion by my side,
is my only friend.
In this vast piece of land,
We go on for our adventure.
On and on we journeyed,
Through the mysterious Gobi Desert
Leaving more and more footsteps,
With each of the steps we take.
The cruel wind blows,
Wiping away the marks that I left about.
The ruthless sand slashes,
Making the way ahead even harder.
Days goes on after the start of my adventure,
And the days turns into weeks,
And the weeks turn into months;
And it became the third year since my journey.
The wind becomes my daily comfort,
The sand becomes my good friend,
I started to admire the Desert,
And day by day, I liked it more and more.
And there I stayed,
For the rest of my life,
In the wonderful Gobi Desert.
With the wind and the sand.
