Patience
Hump, pack-hunched with weightof desire, to nose-bag, roped; yoke-bruised
shoulders, a-groan between shafts
of dream and reality but will shod
and water in-stored
for a rainy day, the camel of patience, kicks
start along the unwalked way, waylaid, each
new day with angry glow of parched patch
of sand. With knees so swollen, aching
with so much kneeling,
on the ordeal strewn desert of life.
Heat-stroke struck, sweat soaked, stoic
at heart, the beast, lumbers, plodding
through sand dunes, amidst sand storms,
panting. It drags itself limpingly, to halt
at the oasis of all emotions-soul's pleasure
that can be when it's stark against
the horrible hurt that life inflicts.
