FOREVER ONWARD, by ROBERT LEE HAWKENSEN First Line: O shifting sand of the desert Last Line: Possessed of love and hope. Subject(s): Deserts; Food & Eating | ||||||||
O shifting sand of the desert, If blest with heart or soul, I beg that you have mercy on Men striving toward their goal. Far across your barren wasteland The traveler wends his way, Tramping on till the burning sun Melts at the close of day. Then peacefully he goes to sleep, Out in your arid land, Dreaming of the glittering gold Buried in yonder sand. Morning comes as a brilliant sun Climbs over distant slope, And he renews his endless march, Possessed of love and hope. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WAITRESSING IN THE ROOM WITH A THOUSAND MOONS by MATTHEA HARVEY CANDIED YAMS' by TERRANCE HAYES DINNER OF HERBS by LOUISE MOREY BOWMAN THE BANQUET SONG by KENNETH KOCH SPLITTING AN ORDER by TED KOOSER |
