Winds of Comfort by Neetu

wind whistles
 in the distance
 where desert sands
 meet the sky

 undulating waves of sound
 break the silence
 of remorse—
 self-inflicted wounds
 soothed by softly falling night

 a balm of star-speckled skies
 covers them
 as lulling music hums and whooshes
 almost like an ocean, rhythmic

 cooling blistered souls
 who wander lost
 in the unknown
