teen poem

i have come into the desert because my soul is athirst
lived by the river-side
i bid them all farewell
listen to the sounding sea
she heard the children playing in the sun
pushing out, struggling vainly
i sometimes wonder if it's really true
within this lowly grave a conqueror lies
see, from this counterfeit of him
in the dark and peace of my final bed
give me
that strange companion came on shuffling feet
