Desert Rose: Part 5

Time is the test of patience 

Patience is measure of endurance 

With every second of living 

thoughts from a different world crosses her mind 

She compares as she goes 

To the barrenness of what she is treading on 

Her thoughts are heavily mixed up 

With newness of the current 

And of what she has left behind..

The clash of restless thoughts 

Strike hard her relentless mind, 

Better to be with the devil that you know- 

She had forgotten all those worthless advise 

In her journey 

She has nothing to pick and choose from, 

The table ain't laid with truffles with numerous fillings..

She has to deal with anything the desert throws at her, 

Scary you might think--

But she has seen worse in her lifetime! 

The constant analysis of what has been, 

of what it is

and of what the future could bring..

Thoughts of many kinds 

are pickling her mind..

She is not afraid to see what is out there..

After all - Is it worth living; 

Without a feather or two on your hat,

or scars of some kind..?

This poem spoke to me...
As if I was reading my own mind...The subject is straddling the real and the twilight world..
Well, she has to take risks to find a new haven. Superbly narrated Prathama...

I do sense her mind thinking constantly about choices and her soul vulnerable to the elements of reality and in the back of her mind thinking if it is all worth living...
Another great episode in the life of the desert rose...:)
