THE JOYRIDE
In a tidal wave of remembrance,
She searched for meaningful existence.
She panned for prosperity with a sieve.
The web of life she lived to weave.
Wondering nomadically in uncharted land,
She trudged relentlessly across weathered sand.
Joyriding in a life raft through the desert of love
To validate the sanctuary she just dreamed of.
Her oasis
Was in you.
