Lying under the desert sun Surrounded by miles of barren sand Here is where my journey ended Here is where I alone could no longer stand Wind blowing gritty waves Coating my parched skin Every cell in my body was screaming for love Fading, my hope caving in Here you came and held out your hand Lifting me from my bleached grave Your love a life preserving oasis From this desperate land Your sustaining arms Heartened my soul I drank from your lips The nourishing waters Of enchantment Quickly returning me to life Quickly reigniting my craving wish Hungry to please your heart's desire Hungry with my ardent eagerness

"hope caving in" is certainly a place that every human being visits more than once in their lives.

I enjoyed the heartcry in this piece to be loved and reanimated from the desert and lethargies of aloneness. A strong statement indeed!
