Whisper

Drinking time
In mournful sighs until
The end of the road
The way home

Within fickle currents
Of the desert winds
Open your eyes to see
Which way to go

Now that you have seen
More of what life has to offer
Let your heart guide you
On the path you have chosen

Patiently breathe in and carefully listen
To the faintest whisper in your chest
Feel it beckon, growing stronger
As you near the close of your quest

A final stand
