Oasis


By Jackson H. Day,
Fort Lee, Virginia, 26 October 1969




I have seen happiness
once in a while
small rooms infinitely large
crowded
by souls without walls
eighty year old children
without guile
a pretty face made beautiful
in love
strong arms gentle
in care
impassioned creativity
transcending all pain.

I have seen happiness
a soothing verdant oasis
where soulsize orchids
bloom forever.

Beyond
eternal drifting sands of
Nothing.
