Excellence Award in the 'Write As Rain 2014' competition

I am battling through the treacherous hot plains,
The sun’s heat overflows my body with pains,
At every breath I take, a bead of sweat falls,
My skin burns, with pain it crawls.
But I need to remember not to fret,
The ghastly sun will soon set,
The moon will shine,
And everything will be just fine.
