i was ur's in the desert.
when you had thirst,
but, then, you saw the oasis.
far in the horizon.
the palms around it,
to shelter from the sun.
i am but a drop of water.
here for your thirst.
but, then, you saw the oasis.
and you poured me on the sand,
to refill your flask,
i am dirty. and he is fresh.
you left me on the sand,
to the mercies of the sun.
i just everporated.
but i rose. up and above i went.
i grew and cooled.
to form a cloud.
a protection from the sun.
but when you saw me,
you ran into the tent,
and called me a storm.
that night i cried,
and my tears flooded the desert.
but the winds came.
and blew me away.
to the fields, so far from you.
and there i saw her. bent in the shamba.
waiting for me.
to cry on her.
and when i cried.
she sang.
a happy song.
a song in the rain.
she put my tears. in the tanks of her house.
for when the sun shines.
SHE WILL ALWAYS HAV ME.
