I stood

Something was missing 

I looked 

Something appeared on distance, yet within reach, caught me 

Mysterious, desirable

How would it smell, how would it look, how would it make me feel, how would the external enliven the internal?

I approached it, moved

though my eyes didn’t as I came closer 

to a new reality, expected, imagined. 

And on arrival

I smelled it, I looked at it, it made me feel, the external enlivened the internal. 

I stood

Something was missing 

I looked 

Something appeared on distance, yet within reach, caught me 

Mysterious, desirable 

I approached it, moved

thirsting for another mirage in the desert
