Orange Sun And The Purple Oasis

Folder: 
March 2002 Poetry

An orange sun,

beats down on my face,

walking through the barren desert.

A haze,

the color purple,

blurs my vision.

The oasis of water,

torturing me.

I keep walking,

and walking,

toward the water.

But the closer I get,

the farther it goes.

Like reaching for my dreams.

I take a step closer,

only to fall,

two steps back.
