Nobody's going to teach you

Chum!
Which foot step in first to the desert
When it's burning,
How to soothe the pain?
When a star falls from the barren sky
How to catch before it's broken and scattered?
While life's fleeing from you without a notice
How to make a knot and keep in the dark kennel?
Nobody's going to teach you,
When the beautiful death roams around your premises
How to open your latched door
And treat her as your fiancee?

* To whom it may concern!
