Dancing of Rhinos
By Sarvenaz Ghasemi
A land of fire and desert cold
That tells a tell like an oak tree old
There is nothing to be seen in this desert land
The sands that cover your blinded eyes
An old man walking in vain
His heart has been bitten by a Cain
No purpose he has in this desert land
He walks in a pattern by a holly command
From his homeland he has been banned
For ages alone he had stand
As he walks in golden sand
His shadow appears and proudly stands
His only companion in these lonely years
Stood by him in laughter and tears
Asked the shadow in the nicest tone
Are you headed to see the rhinos dance on your own?
The old man didn’t say nothing at all
He had put his last word near the palm threes of tall
He walks and walks he fears nothing at all
He had seen monsters and beasts as sky tall
A storm sand comes near by
The old man smiled and look up in sky
This is your path to rhinos the shadow said
Its easy to pass it for a one whose nor live or dead
Through the storm the old man walks
As he holds tight on his pressure box
Its empty yet gives a lot
A hope, a light worth a fight
Over the storm next to a mirage, he sees
Showing to him a thin breeze
rhinos gather at a lake of mirrors
That is poured with golden rivers
He finally sat and saw them do
The holly dance that they always do
His eyes are teared up with nor joy or grief
This is what he has always believed
The shadow appeared and said
I guess this did unload your head
Till tomorrow when the sun awakes again
Your journey starts … starts again in absolute vain
