My Oasis

I 
     have seen
                       love
grow
          from a
                    chance
encounter
                    long ago

I  have                    
              tasted 
                        fruit
of the
               love
                    tree
plucked
             leaves
        of
faithfulness
                 and
                 gathered
them
              to
                    my breast

I live
             within
                  an oasis
amidst
           a
                 desert
of 
decadent
                 decay
so
   I drink
             deep
                     draughts
from
           this
                     well
each&every
day
