This truely is a desert.
Abandoned.  Deserted.  Desolate.  Barren. 
Its not easy to live, to exist. 
Yet despite knowing this, 
I journey in.  I do not resist. 
With cantene depleating
And no thoughts of retreating,
only humbling feelings. 
I'm not the explorer I dreamed I'd be. 
A fleeting dream of succeeding immediately. 
Its hard.  Its hard to Be. 
The oasis I need is avoiding me. 
In some time I'll find one. 
Until then I will ration my supplies
and try to last through the desert skies. 
The seemingly endless sand. 
Cold bitter nights. 
Scorching sun and relentless heat. 
Though I'm facing defeat,
I cannot retreat,
choosing instead to rise to my feet. 
That one day release from this tedious feat
will be my prize.
