Starving for water, <br />Shade an unimaginable luxury, <br />Surviving blistering heat, <br />The soul quickly perishing. <br /> <br />Infertile soil is my foundation, <br />Once nature's prosperous womb, <br />I am her only child now, <br />Isolated against this monotonous hell. <br /> <br />Starving for attention, <br />Contact an unimaginable luxury, <br />Surviving every lonely day, <br />The soul quickly perishing. <br /> <br />Cold concrete is my foundation, <br />Once a path to pass, <br />I sleep upon her now, <br />Isolated against this monotonous hell.<br /><br />Ash Trees<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/desert-tree/
