My Oasis

by reJoyce   Jun 2, 2007


The sand is hot beneath my feet
This desert air, a burning heat
I'm running wild in all directions
Slowly falling from my imperfections

These flats out here seem dead and barren
Monotonous lifelessness
The silence is blarin'

When then a quiver runs suddenly
Through my spine as I sense
A sanctuary
A safe haven
A sweet serenity

You are my oasis
The cool drink to quench my thirst
My resting place in the sun
One thing that's for sure is this
You're my only one
My oasis

    An interesting read, I like the use of words, the flow is a little disrupted at times, but all in all a very good read, I'm liking your work, keep it up

    Nice metaphor! especially the harsh walk in the desert, and then finding the oasis and all that it brings!

    I love the way you compared this person to an oasis as a refuge to oneself.

    Take care now.
