Together, let's make a difference to the environment

Oasis of Reminiscence

‘Twas the night ‘neath the palms
There I sat hunched, relaxed arms
Oblivious to the souls whooshing by
Everything a daze till its time to say goodbye

A night at the boulevard
For two souls who lived apart
A checkpoint before a journey’s start
Journey set out intended to last

The prologue penned, pages to be filled
Not knowing what impends, waiting to be thrilled
Fate took them discovering far and wide
Thru every peak and trough of life

Tugging and prodding in the jungle
Bickering and squabbling in the desert
Preoccupied, on inconspicuous lianas they stumble
Blinded, mirages drove them berserk

Often an oasis provide respite
A waypoint to recollect; to remedy a must
To nurse – spirit set alight
Renewed vision, fortified trust

Sharing the zenith and nadir of each other’s life
To uphold and cherish so that love may thrive
Braving storms, fighting sirens
The hallmarks inherent in love livens

Flame shared warms the cold night
Huddled together enjoying the Northern Lights
Daybreak, the eye of heaven opens
Bringing life, a new day beckons

When the going gets tough and tiring
When the track is rough and unforgiving
Two souls seek out the Living Water
Refreshing the weary spirit; ne’er to thirst thereafter

Just as Newton deliberated beneath a tree
I did so at the oasis where the mind roamed free
Retrospective appraisal waxed poetical
Faithfully penned, epilogue left to the Editor.
