In search of water!

In search of water!

I am thirsty i am thirsty

I want a cup of water

To quench my thirst!

My throat becomes dry

Words refuse to come

Body becomes weak

Walk is staggering

Eyes cringe to have water

My mind jumps in joy

To see a sheet of water

In the desert!

That water sheet shines

In the scorching Sun!

 I run and run and run

To catch the visible water

Midst of the desert!

But it moves and moves

Further and further

My hands wave in the air

To say that it is not water

But Mirage! Mirage! Mirage!
