Taking the first steps
Into the golden ocean
The unbearable beauty
Of the harsh environment
Eighteen days and eighteen nights
Wandering through the wilderness
Unforgivable and persistent
The merciless hunger
Surviving on scraps
Of earlier travellers
Nothing left to nurture
Starving and in fractures
Warm light streaks across
Vast and harmful mountains
Follow the dunes
The way of the golden ocean
The path less travelled
Leaves less behind
Eighteen days and eighteen nights
Wandering through the wilderness
Unforgivable and persistent
The merciless hunger
Surviving on scraps
Of earlier travellers
«Much have I travelled in the realms of gold
I never stopped to greet death
And I wont this time either
For those who don’t give in to despair
Bliss awaits
What these tired eyes have seen
Will not be forgotten»
Silent whispers in the night
Abruptly kills the silence
A sudden cold wind freezes the air
When the fire gets trampled into dust
Embers burn their way through skin and flesh
Restraining her inaudible screams
Two days of icy winds
Hardly breathing through the soil
Millions of sand grains stood still
As the starvation pulls toward the abyss
To be saved
By an unknown force
Where the vile acts of mankind corrupts
Deeds of kindness balances it out
