Dunes roll like waves of gold and dust, Sun cuts the sky — it’s burning us. Footprints vanish in the heat’s embrace, Desert holds my truth in silent space. I’m chasing a sign in the burning light, An oasis glow in the endless night. Let the sand take what I used to be, I’ll find the water — set my soul free. Mirage shimmers, fades into the haze, Dreams turn to ash in this dry maze. One green palm stands where the earth breaks through, Whisper of hope in the desert’s view. Hear the wind sing where the silence grows, Oasis calls as the sun sinks low. Not a dream, just a place to begin, Where the dry earth drinks the rain within. I’m chasing a sign in the burning light, An oasis glow in the endless night. Let the sand take what I used to be, I’ll find the water — set my soul free.
