Oasis

To be alone

so rare these days

for electric faces fill the haze

these empty hours bring love's lost scars

I need a night beneath the stars

so the nightowl hoots to the whispering breeze

which kisses the river and pierces the trees

before I succumb to the calling of sleep

an eerie laughter did seem to leap

from the gusting wind and the chilling night

it entered my soul and took its' bite

was mankind's howl that filled the air

that turned a dream to stark despair

a silent scream as skyward eyes fill

with the land man has raped

the mystery he has killed

it brings such pain to view it

our tracks have cut its' face

this sacred Sunlit oasis

now lost in time and space
