Poem
Written: January 1st, 2023 Rumi's verse, "The desert beckons us as if it were the oasis," ____________________________________________ An endless, lifeless moor—arid and fright. A withering sun whips souls—toils to ignite. Sans shelter or relief, ghost winds stand. Dry air as shriveled wits seek relief sight. Spurs appeared as ripples on the sand. Hidden amid the tall grass of the land. Quench your thirst at the watery oasis. Our ravenous thirst for water will expand. Amid a kaleidoscope of queries rapacious. Life shrinks to grain of sand on daily basis. Amid a dust of labor, a haven of serenity. I was scared upon grasping the base hits. We're like sand amid an arid sea of dexterity. Southern blaze stores a feverish posterity. As a tunic for our ethereal souls improve Soar twice through the oasis of temerity. Sky is drawn by daffodil and drifting groove. Crisp air, soft breeze, and azure feet prove. Bees buzz over heather, as marigolds rise. Eagles trim their fierce feathers—rabbits move Staring into gloom may uncover a prize. For a dwarf area, glimpse an oasis of apprise. This domain, this desert, endures best as gold. It is highly precious than quartz grains size. Scatterings of color that are scarce and bold. Covered in a mixture of brown and green folds. Such a proximity, yet so distant, yet so distinct. We were transported back to the prior era, told. A spring that flows with pure water hint A lush green zone in the arid land succinct An atmosphere devoid of noise and disarray Away from adjacent noise or motion instinct.
