Mirage, Oh Mirage!

Sat a crow,

On a barren tree,

In the scorching desert,

My only companion ||

Run to walk,

Walk to crawl,

I dragged the skin,

In search of a drop ||

Mirage! Oh mirage!

Are you real?

Deception or mine,

Why do you give me hope?

Deeper than ocean,

I saw my well,

Was it victory,

Or beginning of agony?

Crow! Crow! On the tree!

Can you help me?

You are enough,

But how? I asked!

Indelible colour, Calling me closer,

I lie parallel, over the hourglass,

As the crow watched,

The sand drip ||
