One silent tear slides down my cheek
You tenderly taste the salty wanderer
It finds a home on your lips

You say you're thirsty
Drink from my well
It runs deep and cool
The more you sip
the more I'm filled

Spring runs underground
Will never go dry
Tho vagabonds drink their fill and flee

My water is poison
to their fearful souls
I baptise them with blessings
not curses

They travel lonely deserts
Highways of pain and denial
Their tracks left behind
erased by restless winds

Your fingers trace
the contours of time
You see only beauty
Your wisdom is desire
that rests gently on my dunes

I have to agree with Mari, Linda. This is so superbly written and the emotion and imagery painted here gives one a feeling of relaxing near a cool pool of water, with palm trees blowing in the breeze. Thnx for sharing sis. May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, stubborn to a fault, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your still sad and terrified little sister, Barbie

All leading up to the final line... which sent a tingle, a shiver down my spine.

Linda, I've missed your writing.

OASIS is a beautiful blend of grace and eloquence which is typical of your poetry. Your creative vision is strong in OASIS, your word weaves and imagery a balm for this restless spirit!

OASIS reads like a short lyrical film in which the right heart finally meets the right heart and they bless each other with the living waters and shade of shared peace, passion, love. A beautiful write.
