Dedicated to sister Anna with love.
Walking in the desert
A lonely traveler ,lost and wandering
The vultures soaring high above
Eye his every move
Radars on standby for a feast may be

The oasis seem to appear every where
Him in a state of seeing what is not there
Endless domes of dry sand

Soaring vultures over head
On the look out for a feast
Unaware the traveler forges ahead
Raging hunger and thirst
Causing him to stumble but he
Endures and gets to the sweet pool

Oh blissful rest
Falling on his knees he drinks

Let off this time
In the shade of the trees he ate the dates
Vitality regained
Ending a trial

The vultures move on
Knowing the feast is yet to be

Hey, what's happening to me now?? A poem dedicated to me ?? I cannot believe it, it makes me blush (haven't done that for ages now)
It's about water.. Oh well, why not - we humans consist of water for the greater part, and we need it to keep the machinery going, a healthy source!! So, i am happy

What do i see now, while reading carefully??
It's not about 'a healthy source' in the first place, it's about VULTURES

Well Kaanibaa, thank anyway - it's a milestone to have a poem dedicated to oneself .
I'm sure you mean to say that i am the 'sweet oasis' (please tell me that you do!)

Thanks Bro!!
