Desert of Time and Memories

Here Stands An Errant Man
Led Astray Within This Arid Desert
Of Time, With Grains of Memories

Traversing Dunes Contrived of Ruing
A Bitter Past of Beguiling Aspiration 
And Unrelenting Adversity

A Golden Sun Heats The Parched Air
And a Mirage Materializes Before Him
An Oasis Filled With Kindness and Fortunes
Beckons Him To Come In

A Wrathful Wind Begins To Whirl
Grains of Memory Blot The Sky
A Storm of Anguish and Woe Is Nigh
The Oasis Evaporates Into The Shadows
Nevertheless The Man Declines To Cease His Fight
And Journeys On Into The Cold Desert Night

Into The Tempest He Presses Onward
Towards a Beacon of Absolution and Hope
Each Step Sifting Through The Memories
Each Step A Steadily Lessening Slope

Ultimately Reaching Barrens Resolution
The Man Realizes That Within
The Jaunt Through Remembrance Was Not Futile
Forgiveness and Faith Were Wholly Attained
Nevermore Will The Past Weigh Him Down With Regret
For a Prosperous Future Will Come Yet
