Oasis

Walking in the endless desert of my day through the heat…

I look ahead and see a mirage- a lovely place of refuge.

Treading through the hot sand all day has worn me down.

Troubles have beat down on me like the desert sun.

I long for the cool refreshing pools of your eyes,

The luxurious comfort of being in your arms…

You are my oasis. One kiss from you and I’m renewed.

Here I am standing at the crossroads wanting to avoid the loss-

A bell can’t be unrung and certain lines are hard to un- cross.

Troubled hearts either way- Can’t go both places at the same time-

Still I pause for a moment to think it through, choose my way and climb.
