This is a poem I originally wrote a few years ago, during a time of hospitalisation, and I was undergoing numerous medical examinations…. Today I’ve revised this edition slightly, but the theme of poem still seems to be relevant, for my current anxieties during these oppressing months of Lockdown…
Drifting Sand Dunes (Revised)
Life continues to deal me stressful tests
Unyielding, but I’ve given my best
As the sands of time pass through hands of mistrust
Leaving drifting dunes with insurmountable crests
There’s hard exams of my soft soulful chest
Gnawing at my hearts leftover pieces
Lumps of nerve-ends for the devil’s feast
Leaving my naked bones scarred by the beast
In this stormy life of mine, challenges seem endless
Soaking rains and a raging tempests
Twisting my sinews and veins into a vortex
Leaving my inner demons anxiously wondering what’s next
