The Lagoon

in the middle of a naked field, beneath the desert sun
an old lagoon is imprisoned in soil's hands
I am that old lagoon, separated from the whole world
the heat of sun on my body & earth's chained my foot
 
I am the one who wanted to be a sea some day
I wanted to be the greatest sea in the world
I had a dream to reach the sea
burn the night to reach tomorrow
 
I was a fountain under the old sky at first
but unfortunately I ended up in a desert
my eye was looking over the high mountain
but the hand of fate dug a pit on my way through
 
I fell in the pit, the soil imprisoned me
the sky wouldn't rain too, it had an ego
now I am a lagoon, a weak captive
one side to soil, another side to the sky
 
the sun from above, the earth from below
keep evaporating me, this is my life
I can see myself dying in here with my own eyes
this is my destiny, I am earth's captive
 
there is nothing left of me, these are the last drops
the thirsty soil is taking this too
I'll be dried and over tomorrow, as the sun comes up
sand will fill my space, as the wind carries it
