Mirage or Oasis?

As I walk

slowly

one foot
dragging
till the next
pulls forward

dust fills my lungs
and I can hum no more

yet
in the distance is a splash of green
can this be?
this beauty seen?

and as I approach this beautiful lagoon
filled with grapes, and lakes and hope
I say to myself, "nope"
This is not real
and commence
to not let myself feel
the extent
of joy
that has exploded
and expanded
in my heart

& God singlehandedly
gave
me
this

but that's it
me?
what do I deserve
and how can it be
this great thing in front of me
and yet as I am filled with questions
and doubts
today I choose to sing and shout
dance about
because this is one 1. mirage/2. oasis worth celebrating!
