will be
shadowed by my past fear
of the invisible vaporisation visited
upon me
yet knowing that what else is there to do
to draw back and revert to that desert emptiness
when every oasis metamorphosed into a fading mirage
yet I am
a living witness to the power
of a single raindrop
that though it briefly
swept past me
it’s vapour defied desolation
and brought forth this love.
