Oasis
Thirsty for a place of peace
Away from the trials
Away from the drama
Away from the trauma
Running for stillness
Palms gently sway
Entering into the lush garden
Drinking from the waters
No longer needing
Instantaneous connections
No longer wanting
Releasing the desire
Ego incinerates in the fire
Unquenched
Burning like a tattoo
Onto my soul
Freedom’s song
Released to fly
Becoming a Phoenix
Rising from the ashes
Peaceful
Gentle
Still
Oasis
