A sailor is what i thought about me,
So a desert is where i'm not supposed to be.
I knew desert is not the place of Niles,
I still needed to walk miles.
Sand,sand n more sand is what is near,
Don't know how the hell to get outta here.
Still the glance of the sun i like,never knew how,
Faraway somewhere in the hike is the fountain of love.
Walked n walked,then on my knees i fell,
All i could do then is look up n yell.
Far in the north sand showed a shadow of cloud,
The wind roared to say "you'll be loved".
Sun was't looking at every corner,
The desert now wasn't that warmer.
I held my breath n ran through the sand,
Just to rest in the all new land.
Out there in a distance the sun didn't burn anymore,
n the earth was't hotter to the core.
Far in the end i found the green,
Oh yeah!! There,there the 'Oasis' is seen :-)
