El Dorado

I looked around, and not a single silhouette was there

The desert was tranquil

Just as I was about to lose hope

There she was

Standing as if the world was her stage

She lent me a hand

I stood up, my eyes still fixed on her smile

It was difficult to believe that she was a human

Her smile was eternal, godly

And as my eyes turned around

In a flash, she was gone

Forever

I wonder who she was

I wonder why she appeared there

I wonder why me

And I didn't even realize that the sand dunes were far away

I was out of the desert

I could see a foot trail, but I don't remember walking the distance

I wasn't even tired

Confused, I turned again

And there it was, the one thing I was searching for

I walked inside this huge archway

The entrance to the city

The city of pure gold

Or the other name that you've heard

El Dorado

The beautiful city, sparkling

As the sunlight reflected from the surface of the statues

My eyes couldn't believe what they saw

And I cannot imagine how satellites or airplanes can miss this particular effigy

The largest one of the city, several hundred feet tall

It was the deity, I met in that peaceful desert

I never believed in miracles

But this one was hard to explain

I know you've heard of this place

It's El Dorado, and I've found her again!
