Dry …parched like cracked dessert earth
Dry … long slender blades on the savannah golden blowing death
Longing… fresh water, renewed life
Longing…paradise… green oasis
A mirage in my mind, a mirage of the dessert, a mirage in the haze I can’t help but gaze
Drifting, walking, seeking a breeze; a drink
To off set the dryness in my mouth
Preventing my tongue from forming the words to say
Life…I choose you… ado
Ado to the dry arid you
