Emotional Oasis

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
