Excellence Award in the 'Dream Big 2013' competition

the dusty plains run through
taking only few
the wind whispers flee this place
tumble weeds go at their own pace

the scorching sun gazes
with its burning blazes
pictures of fire are spotted in the eyes
at the tremendous sun rise

go forth you say
throw yours days away
see only what you need to see
be the last one left to flee

the dusty plains run through
taking only few
the red soil pushes me to flee
Now I'm finally free
