Wander the Desert Alone

fell asleep and began to dream I woke in a barren place no land or stream I wander alone in the desert still nothing in the horizon Surrounded by sand blowing in wind choking as if I am dying How did I end up here struggling with incredible thirst I see a palm tree with little water will I die or reach it first After miles of walking I reach what I have seen Only to find out it is an oasis just a dream within a dream How will I make it out of this dry desert land I pray to the heavens to lend me a hand No answer as of yet so I continue to stumble Through this treacherous terrain losing my composure no longer humble Sweating profusely dehydration setting in theres no chance for a cure With no water in sight my chances of death become pure My ears begin ringing so loudly I can't hear myself think Wait it's my alarm Im safe in my home again with plenty to drink

"Wait it's my alarm!!!" :) I am smiling. You never know what will happen- when you dream. You could be in a desert drying up like a prune with nothing to drink. This is cute, clever and creative. :) Brandy
