I am a weary traveler
In a dry and barren land
In a quest to quench my thirst
It is not water that I seek
I seek to satisfy a thirst
Deep within my soul
I have traveled far and wide
Yet thirsty I remain
Oh where is the oasis that I seek
All I find is a mirage
Time and time again
A well without depth, I find
Forced to be a nomad
The shadows they do haunt me
Day and night they plague me
No comfort can I find
Yet in my dreams
I see the image of the one
Urging me upon my path
Yet again I rise
My path is set
I can not turn away
This thirst, it must be quenched
This fire burns within my soul

Thank you for your poem. You said your thirst is not H2O. Do I qualify to ask what type of "thirst" it is? thirst for knowledge? for spiritual things? for love? for friendship?
If it is a bad question, don't bother to answer the question. Thank you for being a productive contributor!
thanks,
