DewDrops on the Oasis
By
Oasis Thacker
Oasis in the desert
Like a splash of Moon on the endless spread of powdered Sun….
Hanging on like a goat at the edge of a cliff!
When standing away from the Oasis….
The mirage is the nightmare of hope that springs tears of deception…
When standing close to the Oasis…
The mirage is a beautiful portrait of an ocean on a canvas of sand!
DewDrops:
Pearls of desert-flowers and leaves
DewDrops on the Oasis:
Selfless sacrifice of identity and glory -
To add a few more drops to the Oasis,
And slake the sandy thirst of a couple of birds
Without the desert,
Life is blooming flowers, quenching rivers, fields of wheat, and clusters of mango trees
But without the desert,
The Oasis is just another pond!
