Miles and miles of sand ashore
Amidst the great majestic desert
A man walked by all parched
Quench his thirst or he wouldn't last.
Wide and as far the eyes could see
Not a single trace of water around
The sun shone bright that day
He was all dried up like the hay
Drooling and falling, he barely could walk
His eyes were struggling to open up
He had made peace with his destiny
And was about to lie dead and skinny
Just then he thought that he saw
An oasis amidst this vast desert
Not sure if it's real or just reflection
But this got him some aspiration
With little more effort he headed straight
Heat was already killing him halfway
With every step that he'd take towards
The oasis would seem to move forward
There reached a time he could walk no more
Fell on the ground, with all hopes shattered
The oasis was still afar away like before
Death seemed to welcome him on its shore
A traveller passing by on a camel saw
The man lay dead, dried on the ground
He got down his camel to check if the man's alive
He could sense the man breathing his last lives
So he gave the man some water that he had
Life rushed by inside like a flowing river
The traveller then helped him with a camel ride
Away from the desert now, the man reached safe tide

Hi. I'm a fictional reality writer, sometimes. Also sometimes a Potterhead, FRIENDS maniac and Pokemon crazy. But I'm an Explorer, always. Fun and light-hearted writing is my motto, and sarcasm is my go to for most of it. Caffeine dependent, completely (its needed you know, for most parts). Well, that's enough for y'all to know how insanely sober I'm. Happy reading fellas!
