Mirage
High noon finds you here
A distant pool on the highway
Rippling in the hot sun
An illusion, unreachable
But in my eyes you are very, very real
I walk many miles, but I'm still only halfway there
The road stretches into dust and infinity
Heat, I can feel your heat
It's always been this way
And it always will, it must.
To reach you would be the end
The journey to a black hole
To slip into your stream
Would be to turn my back
To wait for your water
Would be to die of thirst.
And as the sun fades into twilight
And hope turns to despair
I find that the oasis I seek
Is just a mirage.
