Each petal found its fragrance in the fields ever full

The gentle light that nourished colors blooming fell just right

Water in the undercurrents below a fertile soil

Lavished life that sprang up to where the world drew breath to sing

Softly; the grass held us and the winds were cool and kind

I could make out a sort of smile as you looked my way sometimes

My words like second nature flooded this simple heart

The world was good and green until you changed your mind

Desperately the flowers reached deeper in the earth

And searched for inspiration to quench their growing thirst

The light began to burn and the winds began to sting

The days without my love began to touch everything

The grass grew thin and the soil grew whiter on the ground

All my efforts to water were wasted like through a colander

My once sweet love eroded as I looked everywhere for your heart

I sifted through the ocean of sand but all I found were empty words

Glimpses of your beauty in the corners of my mind

Only sustained my broken heart for shards of passing time

I wandered like a nomad through the desert of my soul

And cannot quite remember what the mirage of your oasis stole

Help me find the spring I search for in the depths of all I have left

Let your eyes open the places that have a fountain yet

Return and see the beauty still growing even on this cactus here

It speaks of hidden streams somewhere far beneath this fear.
