The Desert's mirage!

The Desert's mirage!

Cast adrift on sandy seas

The sky ocean blue.

I'm drowning on dry sands

The water, distant, I view.

Swimming in delusion

Climbing the waves of sands

Shimmering on the horizon

The watery film I crave.

As the mirage now

Speaks to me

Calling.......... I hear

Waves crashing on sandy shores.

I find myself swimming.

HAHAHA Thank you Einstein . I will check this out. My poem basically is about thirst, dying of thirst and how the mirage plays with your mind near death!

Lost in a daydream and ever so yearning for life

and most importantly love

Love it

love ocean blue skies and the water, especially the ocean... swimming in sand, though, that is something else... i enjoyed this, my friend... being in one place while dreaming of being somewhere else...
