Alchemist....?

I ran many miles
Wanted to rest a while.
But at the midst of the desert,
And the sun shining bright.

Looking at a distance,
Searching for shelter,
There was only cactus
And cursing weather.

I headed towards the pyramids
Just like the Alchemist.
Not for the treasure.
But searching....the meaning of life and its pleasure.

Desert is like our life.
Cactus, the milestones,
We, the gift of god
Fighting against the dunes
And the pyramids...
The final attainment of life with its tunes
