The Desert

Climb the ladder
Fall to the bottom
Leaves falling
Like it’s autumn

Start as a seed
It will grow
Next to others
Row by row

Thriving on
The light of the sun
They grow tall
One by one

Before they die
They drop a seed
In a place
That meets every need

Like a seed
I was born
But in a place
That was forlorn

There is fire
And people yell
Lost in a place
Some call hell

My roots were weak
Could barely stand
The desert is bare
Hot dry sand

Continuously looking
For an oasis
But only mirages
Form the basis

Going to die
Getting hotter
That’s when you find
The patch of water

The medicine penetrates
All the cells
Listen closely
No more yells
