Oasis

I have this dream night after night
That I am alone
In a desert of scorching sand
And I am so very thirsty
I walk
And I walk
And I walk
Aimlessly
It feels
As though I walk these circles
Endlessly
My thirst never quenched
And I feel as though I might
Cry
Just to drink my own tears
But my eyes are dry
My tears stolen by the sun
Before they even reach my parched lips
Hours and
Hours go by
Slow
And I begin to feel my feet drag
And just as I feel I might die with one more step
I see it
There is this incredible
Beautiful
Crystal
Waterfall
And it doesn't occur to me
How this waterfall comes to be
As I run
Unsteadily
Into its clear azure water
And I breathe in
As I inhale the scent of it
My mind comes back to me
And then I realize
I am still here
In these sheets
Right next to you
And the waterfall was your hair
And the intoxicating scent
Your skin
And I understand
You are
My oasis
