A Dream
a dry bleak place
as far as the eye can see
nothing to spark the imagination
except for in the distance
glimmer of oasis far ahead.
dead vegetation
sand and rock and dirt
there are monsters here among the sands
keep looking away
they're mostly in the mind anyway.
trudging ever onward
throat parched and hot
green oasis looks no closer
running out of time
but could it only be a mirage?
it looks so real
green cool and shady
lush trees and fruits on the vine
water flowing
surely the oasis must be real.
the sun beating down
blinding cloudless skies
broken images dancing in the brain
madness ensuing
green oasis does look closer now.
approaching the water
body crying out
is this the cumulation of our dreams?
thirst consuming
reaching for water with a cupped hand.
only a handful of dust
depletion of hope
where did everything go so wrong?
soul declining
and dying for the loss of a dream.
