There was once a girl who was lost in the desert
She was lonely and sad
She tried to find her way
The brown sands stretching for miles to the end
There was no one around
She saw a mirage and tried to leap towards it
Realising it was actually… an illusion
As she cried kneeling on the ground
The sun rays burnt into the back of her skin
causing agony and intense pain
A cold breeze blew, carrying the smell of rain
With renewed hope, she walked towards the direction
of the breeze… hoping to find her way out
of the endless mirage of brown and blue
Her body was weakened from the exhaustion
Her eyes were firmly set on the horizon of a line of translucent blue
Her legs gave way, and she fell
bruising her knees on the hardness of the sands
She stood up once again
numb from the physical pain
using just her mental resolve
she… finally reached… the oasis
where she found her peace, at last.
