[bodytext] => Sitting on cracked, dried ground Somewhere far off the beaten path An ant crawls by, so I know I'm not alone I'm surrounded by millions, I'm sure But a single ant is all I see My only friend, so gentle, so simple My heart is breaking My skin is bleeding Heavy is my chest, trying to breathe Trying to stay alive in this desert that I call my life Strip me to my bones, I'm desperate I was warned not to venture so far They said, "It hasn't rained here in a thousand years," "Be weary of the visions that you might see," and they wished me luck They wished me luck Now I sit here, lost No food, no water I think, "I should have listened." But I'm content here in my misery A punishment thrown down on me by the Sun I just wanted to touch it... I just wanted a taste... But I always knew it tasted like the sand in my dry mouth A lonely boulder that stands high amidst the desert winds Surely isn't me, because here I crumble Let me lay, now Let this be my end [comments] => 4 [counter] => 218 [topic] => 65 [informant] => The_Unknown [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => toughstuff )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
