Oasis

In this lonely dessert I saw an oasis

I got drawn to it.

Closer and closer i went

But it kept running for me

The closer it seemed, the further it felt

I was confused, why? why can i not reach it?

Not even reaching out my hand as i ran

Trying to catch it, trying to feel

Hoping my lonesome self would heal

Running and running

Gasping for air

I stop and tilt up my head

With tears in my eyes i look

For my longed oasis disappeared.
