Desert life

I have desire I'm on fire I want…
But Hashem - You don't, And you tell me My dear, no Turn the fire off Shake the desire off I don't want you And don't let you do it. Ok.
But Hashem - How exactly? How do I fight fires? How do I switch desires? How?
Water? I don't have any. I'm thirsty Dehydrated Almost burnt
Sand? I don't have any. Just rock And stone Too many
Wind? I can't blow any. I'm blown away In tornadoes Of confusion
Desert doesn't offer deserts offer Just heat Rock and wind And endless tears
Oh. So I do have something A little something I can cry A drop Maybe two But Hashem - Can you Cry too?
