Running through the desert
toward what?
away from what?
Slow to a walk
am I safer now?
or less energetic?
I must keep going.
forward, onward
no going back.
My goal is in sight.
trees, green grass
water? water!
An oasis on the horizon
keep going forward
rewards are in sight
There I can refresh
the long journey over
finally rest
The reward for the toil
no more struggle
just peace
Why aren't I getting closer
it stays on the horizon
no matter how far I crawl
An oasis, a mirage?
like expecting gold
after chasing rainbows
There is no plush green land
just as there is no gold
and no water
Chasing an oasis
I've come to far to go back
and too far to go on
Why even take the trip
to chase mirages and lies
believing, gullibility
What is the great reward?
to perish in the sun and sand
exhausted by useless travel?
Convince me to go on
where am I going
and why bother

This one was written during a time of questioning faith and spirituality. I was questioning my own purpose and worth. Life has been a Hell for so long, that even the thought of hope seemed ridiculous. So, if there's no belief in hope in this life or another, why stay in this one? I'm very happy to say that I've come to terms about what I believe and who I am. I am filled with hope now that I have found true purpose in life. Love can heal so many wounds.
