The Mirage

Walking in the desert with
the sun in full blast
Burning with the heat every
step seems the last

In the far distance he
sees some shimmer
Like the sun reflecting on
the cool blue water

Oh! he thanks God for
giving him courage
Until he realizes that it
could be a mirage

Then his curses are
oh so profound
Suddenly he hears a
distinct sound

Sound of a flowing
water steam
And he realizes it's
a day dream

His insides cramp with
sudden fear
He knows for sure his
end is near
