Mirage
lost and confused
somewhere
caught between dreaming
and the nothing of ice
bright and shining
whispered and gone
my soul like a mirage
dazzling, glorious from afar
but close-up it falls into so much sand
dust swept under until the dust became a desert
everything that is needed
nothing to give
except away
plenty to share, nothing to keep
easy smiles
meaningless
if I could wander away
like my heart does
maybe I could find me
lead me back to drink
lay in the field outside my castle walls
wait for the rain
dance under the sliding sky
and swallow the storm
to soothe my parched soul
