OASIS - I claim you as sanctuary..
A million ton of sand
with only one ally
that sweeps upon the land
erosion burrows deep
beneath your table
where irragated tears
caress and sleep
Pourous grains allow
heaven to reach down deep
and there sprouts the drifted
seed amidst the great Kharga
An island in an ocean
of searing heat that blazes
beneath the sweltering sun
Desert garden watered springs
from earths resting place
provides the refuge soght
