It was a time to pause <br />at the oasis, beside the mirrored sea, <br />to open my mind's gateways, <br />to be held dreaming in the hand of what has been, <br />suspend belief in what may come to be, <br />lose hopes that fasten fetters on what is, <br />and, fully in the present, to reflect.<br /><br />Janice Windle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/journey-inwards-collection-oasis/
