From the shadows of the icy night <br />The fiery Sun brings equal fright <br />Death by Fire, Death by Ice <br />In this barren Hell, either would be nice <br /> <br />Danger lurking in the sand <br />The Elements bend to your false command <br />My dark reflection is in my hand <br /> <br />The Mind’s Eye creates illusions <br />The burning grain brings delusions <br />The distant land causes confusions <br /> <br />Brightening Shadows, darkening Light <br />Each lost step weakens your might <br />The Reaper’s Touch is most precise <br />Only Your Life will suffice <br /> <br />(12/13/2007)<br /><br />Michael Koelliker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/desert-5/
