Poetry Theme

Poetry can attune us to our soul and contact with the Divine where we find our very source of life,love and well being.

The Oasis in all its spheres attempts to offer a deeper awareness of this spiritual dimension.

Fly With Me

I want to tell you of a beautiful dream:

a dream that's not a dream,

a dream I feel in deepest hope will reach

the heights of wonder, beauty,truth reality.

Why do we drift through life

searching for something real and find only illusion-

things of such gravity,poverty, shabbiness

that life ends in misery and grief ?

Why, when the stars shine for us

and the sun talks to us of light and splendour ?

Dare we touch this Realm ?

Dare we look around us at poverty and misery

and wish to show them the stars ?

Only with this desire will sparks of reality

light a new way for us:

a way that lifts us into meaning, purpose

and solid core life.

A life where newness, freshness, peace,freedom

live for all, and  all drink

this  beauty and this truth.

And Heaven reaches down to Earth

and kisses it in realization of its destiny.

And I know longer fear Death

Life has melted it away forever.

I Believe

I believe in perfect happiness,

am I crazy to hold onto this dream

a dream I believe will come true, some

day soon ?

Some day, when light comes to greet me,

lifting me into its dizzy rapture

just because I long for it,

see it in my heart and soul.

Just because my spirit moves towards it yearningly,

and every little tear I shed

is pleading to renew me in its splendour;

to see within me and around me

a world full of light,

where beauty, truth, peace, happiness

exist in perfect balance,

and everyone belongs

because they too believe.
