Oasis

A luscious green hedge,

so tall,

so rich

A barrier between

what is right,

and what is wrong

I feel safe

Behind these soft,

plush walls

Basking in the sun

Watching clouds wisp by

before my very eyes

I feel protected

Behind these generous,

impenetrable walls

Creating a world

A place, i call

Home

Observing

my reflection,

that instantly shimmers by

A lonesome face,

streaming tears

A wondrous girl who cries

I wonder what she thinks

In a world

Consumed in blue

With no one but herself

Can she feel?

Is she true?

Her ivory tinted skin

Clawed up

by painted nails

Her beauty

masked by sorrow

Her silhouette appearing frail

Clouds came soaring in,

Casting shadows

throughout the valley

Half her body dissipates

Her faded presence

Strikes uncanny

Deeper she drowns

Empty she feels

Alone once again

In this beautiful

Hidden oasis

She calls, Home
