Oasis

Lost in a desert
No hope in sight
Dying to live
To weak to fight
A vain search for hope
A moment’s peace
Praying for rain
A cool sea breeze
But the sun beats down
And the heart grows hard
The journeys long
And I have traveled far
In search of a dream
A forgotten soul
A wandering spirit
I used to know
At each oasis
A day of rest
Taste the waters
Hope for the best
But the spring is poisoned
Bitter and hot
I forgot the lessons
The prophet taught
I lingered to long
My soul was burned
The lesson was hard
But the lesson was learned
I want an oasis
With a soft quiet breeze
A world that will accept
All that is me
