Desert Oasis
Your love, as quiet as a dove
falls softly from up above
like raindrops, upon my
parched skin.And bringing it new life,
the whole of me
suddenly becomes
alive, aware, as one
with you.How long in the desert had
I lain, in agony and despair
of ever being loved
again? And then here
you were.You brought me life when
I was at the edge of
death, waiting for it
to come. You bade
me live.And now I do, within those
loving arms of yours,
safe from the dark
and terrors of
before.This life of mine I have come
to cherish and want,
with you here
in it
with me.
