Modern Oasis
As the sun rises over the horizon,
Doves fly through the clouds.
The land is covered in soft green waves
Over rolling hills. Sprinkled throughout
Are brilliant flowers like confetti
On New Years Day. Bringing sweet
Aroma into the seamless spring air.
All around are colorful butterflies
Sipping peacefully on nectar, ladyugs
Buzz in harmony with bluebirds
Fluttering in the magnificant oaks
Swaying in the breeze. Creating
A cool sensation upon
All living things.
A soothing river whispers through the oasis,
Away from the butterflies and extravagance
Of the accepted American life.
In the cleansing clear waters
Fish meander
With no worry.
A girl lies beneath a holly tree
Enjoying the bright shade of the warming sun,
Meditating the bliss and praying for peace.
Never wanting to leave,
But knows she must.
