Oasis

My garden
my oasis
my refuge
from life

Life giving
life renewing
life saving
natural delight

Breath of fresh air
breath of Earth’s gifts
breath of cleansing perfume
flowery essence

Soil of the Mother
soil of the Creator
soil of the ages
enriches the soul

Rain sustains
rain nourishes
rain restores
washes away decay

Sun bring change
sun brings sustenance
sun brings color
bursting opulence
