Contest entry:

I see a woman far away,
A desert creature in my way,
Her dress is flying everywhere,
And water flowing in her way

I'm in a desert hot and heavy
The water's flowing by my feet,
A woman there, in front of me
A beauty coming far away

I close my eyes, a second mere,
The air is heavy, the beauty's gone,
No water here is in my sight,
No woman saving me from thirst
