The Desert

Ego is strong
Keeps demanding,
Persistent beast.
I am surprised
I grieve,
Withdraw.
Vulnerable.

No regret
Stuckness rather it is.
Mind and Body
Trapped in a time machine.

Old spaces, patterns and puzzles
Unresolved.

Victims of personal convictions
Separate directions to follow
A faint memory warns
Storms are coming.
Like an experienced Bedouin
I observe the desert.
Young warriors run into a trap.
