A Gladiator's Home

I plowed my hand across the field,
Bumping tulips and daisies,
Trampling on pebbles and grass
While the sun baked my skin

Butterflies failed to ensorcell,
Cicadas were left unheard,
The last stanza of my death knell
fueled my foot to retrace the earth

My eyes finally caught sight
Of you in a dusty haze,
The crowd expelled its roaring approval,
I'm finally at the end of the maze
