Oasis

Perfect makings of a daydream Dancing carefree on a sunbeam A deep breath and my eyes close The air inviting as water flows Seeping in serenity to the core Despite the stir the rush the roar Thunderous clamor of majestic falls Ascending spirits soar I hear their calls Rising mist emanating from another realm What a rush~ divine forces at the helm Stepping into the garden of eden and of rebirth Creating in my mind sweet paradise on earth Inspiration as pure as the first day of creation Rendering rich bouquets of lush vegetation I create my asylum my sanctuary my haven Euphoric being a royal eagle or a common raven AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Submitted on September 12, 2019 for contest PICTURESQUE RHYME sponsored by EVE ROPER - RANKED 2ND
