Eruption

Digging deep trenches within the sand,
No heavy equipment, only hands.
Fighting to survive the scorching heat,
And deadly scorpions walking around their feet.
They've been digging for days, not a drip of water was seen,
Sweat evaporated from their heads in the form of steam.
Their tongues were cracked, it seems all was in vain,
Suddenly an eruption from below, a geyser sprouted like rain.
They drank and laughed, danced in delight,
As an oasis was formed from such a treacherous flight.
