Bedouin I am

[A very old one, (repost due to popular demand ;) )]  



Searching for destiny, fate I did find,
Teasing a brooding memory lane,
In the darkest streets of my mind,
Wet and lonely, my life’s bane.

Bedouin I am, in the sands of life,
Days’ malice and pain always rife,
Bedouin I am, in the sands of life.

Have shed now the wool and fainting smile,
Stripped hopes away and primed for the heat,
A place forever, the fright of turning senile,
Time sprouted weed around my sore feet.

Bedouin I am, in the sands of life,
Dreams of I and gods always strife,
Bedouin I am, in the sands of life.
