When...



 

When I have fallen in the desert
    cuddled to my feet
When my lips and tongue are broken
  with the scorching waves of heat
When I am burnt in my fears
   and death is my only dream
By the side of my thirsty ears
  you sound like a distant stream

When the little moon and stars
  are frozen in the skies
When the mighty sun does melt
  and seems to never rise
When my skin is turning white
 slowly freezing with the ice
In the cold and silent night
 you are the fire to my eyes

When huge and violent waves
   toss my little boat
When I am sinking down
  leaving my hopes to float
When I am lost in sea
   and I can sail no more
you are like to me
the sands of a silent shore

when..
