Mirage
Across the sand, there’s a well of flame
reaching for the cloudless sky.
I’ve seen dreams upon the dunes,
I’ve seen oceans in the stars,
yet this golden realm remains in my eye.

Mirage, a solitary vision
appears before my weary soul.

Across the sand, there’s a sapphire curtain
resting on horizon’s edge.
I’ve seen waves over mountains,
I’ve seen rainbows in a storm,
yet my conscience staggers on the ledge.

Mirage, illusions in the desert
haunt the world that ensnares me.

Mirage, my jewel of insanity,
I’ve watched the life of grain to stone to sea.
