Then the Oasis Broke



we saw peace upon the horizon,

but it was too far to see if the flag

flying was white, gold or black,




so we marched onward... across

the hot sands, and our thoughts

wandered into daydreams, we




lost our feet under the weight of worries

but then the oasis broke into a cool breeze

and the snakes and scorpions cleared a path -




which became our everything
