This was written in 2007.
Floating in existence
Breathing but not living
The heart is beating, yet is dead
Feeling prick but no pain
Nothing left to hurt and maim
Looking up the sky is dark
Ominous clouds hanging low
Pressing down with force so great
Struggling to stand in a fury of wind
Feet are dragging, to take a step
Looking down the puddle of life
Surrounded by sand oh so porous
Sucking the edges with evil surety
Standing hopelessly, I watch
Sinking deeper in Sahara’s hell.
