Oasis in the Sky                    


  I am looking for an oasis in the sky
  but, the clouds cannot tell me why
  looking up I see the sands of dawn
  moving with eddies of time
  I see the hands of all that’s gone 
  reflecting an orange hue
  yet, as the morning moves on
  I cannot help but wonder,
  what will the clouds do
  to this brand new dawn

  There is a world of hope
  in the oasis in the sky
  but, the clouds just hang there
  and don't know why
  they know but, how to cope
  with the changing times
  just shifting past the border line
  that makes up a horizon
  hanging there so still and dry
  in the oasis in the sky. . .
