Why must you shelter from me? <br />I long for you; <br />Your love sustains me <br />Your soul quenches the desire <br />in my burdened heart and fills my spirit's yearning <br />As water is the essence of life's being, <br />Your presence immerses with new life <br />a heart once filled with emptiness <br />My life is a desert without you; <br />for you are the oasis that brings my soul to life.<br /><br />Philip St. Cyr<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oasis-13/
