We meet at the oasis
Teeming with life
Yet we were something
More than this
-
Dancing where the flowers bloom
White petals twirling in the breeze
Under the eternal sun
The desert bathed in wistful peace
-
But something happened rapidly
Your shadow blocked all source of light
It grew and covered everything
The desert now engulfed in night
-
You covered the oasis
You were something more than this
-
When the shadow disappeared
The mourning sun began to cry
I find the oasis had been scorched
Leaving me hollow, leaving me dry
-
Left behind, there is only sand
That was all it’s ever been
The mirage begins to fade
And with it, hope, slips through my hand
