Question

prose on topic a journey across the desert​

Answer 1

Answer:

Across the desert sands the wind blows

Gritty and angry pieces of sand clinging to my skin

Driving its way into my eyes

I look across this vast emptiness

Only one goal in mind

I walk on

Plodding past bleached out skulls

Skulls of the ones who came before me

And failed

I must go on

I must not fail

Wind whipping my braids

Tugging at them playfully

Squinting to see

I look towards the horizon

Not much further now

Bowing my head to keep the sand at bay

I walk on for another day

My feet slipping in the sand as it sucks me down

And still I walk on

Spear clutched in my hand

Pack on my back

In the distance I hear coyote

The trickster howling his lament

I push it from my mind

Knowing he only wishes to deceive me

I turn my ears inward

Listening closely

As the sacred bundle speaks

It sings gently to me

Guiding me on my way

Walking through the days sun

Wishing I were done

Night falls and still I walk

Lightening flashes across the sky

Filling the dead air with the scent of ozone

And yet no rains come

I look up and watch as the Lightening Twins fight

Grateful for the light

With a great sigh I keep walking

Feeling rocks beneath my feet

The night air cooler now

The scent on pine fills my nose

I start to climb upward

Slowly up the mountain I go

Knowing that when I reach the top

I will sleep beneath the eagles nest

I look to the east waiting to see the sun rise

Brother wolf raises his head eying me

He whispers in the wind

"Go on my friend

Your journey is almost at its end

When the moon splits the sky

And blood pours from your eye

You will see a brother from the north

He will teach you the art of war

Then you must prepare for the twins"

My legs tremble with fatigue

But still I walk on...
