the long walk

this flat desert
we walk on.
waterless, under a flat
blue
wall of sky.
no green to be found.
no bird afloat,
no soul
dancing on this sanded
ground.
what we think we
see, or know, is not there.
what was behind us is gone.
what lies ahead
we turn into an oasis
of life.
of hope and love.
we keep at it,
walk forward
knowing that at some point,
it will be true.

Like the phrasing of the flat blue wall of sky. May steal that down the line. Who knows?
