I did not realise I was thirsty
Till I came across an oasis.
Its fruit was not the most beautiful,
Succulent, sweet or breathtaking.
But it sucked me in,
Made me drink it up,
With each sip I got more dizzy.
I sit in its protective shade now, waiting.
Waiting for the time to come
When I must leave.
For my journey must continue.
But now that I have been to the oasis,
Will I always feel thirsty and think of its warmth?

It's funny how one can walk on without feeling thirst, and feel it leaps and bounds when you get to see it. It is true that you will always feel the thirst now even after you leave, but you will find more oases anyway. Or you will come back to this one and tent here. Only thing it is an oasis, not a perennial river, no?
