Oasis


Oasis



They are waiting for me

Somewhere far away

In the immeasurable distance

of space and time


They are waiting for me

Glistening pools

the color of emeralds, sapphires, dawns and sunsets

Calm and Cool

Inviting and Serene


They are waiting for me

and someday

even farther away

when I find my way through


I will lay down beside them

I will feel their warm and perfect waters

playing in my toes and creeping playfully up my legs


I will immerse myself in the mesmerizing silence

hearing only their low gentle lapping sounds

I will finally and peacefully fall, resting on their safe shores.
