Inspired by a dream I had.

Trailing across the desert,
Cane and canteen by my side,
Illusions and mirages do divert
The passing time,
But I search for the treasure,
A wealth beyond measure.
Gold cannot touch
this treasure of such.
Diamonds bow to the splendor
Of hope it renders.
This is my desert treasure.
Breathless but daring,
I continue the search.
Heartfelt and caring,
I go on for all its worth.
Hot desert, give me my treasure.
I'm under the spell, the course
Of your fading promise.
No pearl can compare
To the whiteness of your world.
Open this locked door.
Come to me, desert treasure,
Be mine forever.
