Stampede

Stampede

A Poem by Floating on the feathers of a dandelion

A wide seamless road,
ends coalesced in the equator,
threatening loneliness prevaling on the way,
silent, so silent, breath sounds as an erupting volcano,
eyes see nothing, no-one just the endless road with no milestones.
Burning road, flames following the shadow.
Scorching sun and vultures flying high, locating a prey.
No sign of life, except for a walking body, treading the seamless road.
Aimless strides towards no-where.

Suddenly, something comes rolling, stamps:
But a stampede on an empty road ?!
A stampede, stamping, stamping harder...
Something just took the last breath,
eyes collapsed with the sight of the seamless road caught in them.
Vultures revolve around, fly low to land,
sounds of erupting volcano ticked away, crater has dried.

Succumbed to the stampede, ready for another seamless road.
