EMOTIONAL OASIS
I have traveled many uncharted lands
Crossing mountains, oceans, desert sands
A long and solemn journey, from child to man
In the search of a treasure so grand
The climb was hard; many obstacles were on my path
Keeping the elusive treasure in mind although it was beyond grasp
At times feeling the quest was futile, another of life’s traps
Mysterious as an ancient tomb, lethal as a venomous asp
Oceans of sweat and rivers of tears have been shed
As one after another journey played its jokes with my head
Many days passed when I didn’t want to rise from my bed
For the treasure of my search seemed to have fled
Just as I thought the treasure was never to be in sight
The searing heat and burning sands draining away my life
I looked over the horizon and much to my delight
An oasis of love, with skin so fair, brown hair and hazel eyes
Giving me strength and a reason for living
With tenderness and compassion beyond all believing
Lifting me up from my battered state of grieving
My oasis of love I will not soon be leaving
