May 2015
The Sea of Dust
Seas of Dust do swallow,
Nearly every living thing
And life and soul will leave you
As dusty currents begin to wring.
A snare disguised as paradise,
Facade of golden waves and pools.
Just beneath it's deceptive surface
This earthen sea abounds with ghouls.
Sail this sea with caution
And never stray the course.
For if you linger too long
You'll be unable to elude its' force.
This sea is parched and lifeless,
With its hot and choking sands.
No salvation found within its clutch
So you must heed its wicked demands.
Led to sea by sirens, or greed
Or a passage you foolishly trust.
You're now ensnared and declared
Property of the sea of Dust.
A complicated version of "the grass is always greener on the other side"
