Oasis Of Life

They met in a bone dry desert
Where the sun was pricking its rays
The sand was pulling them down
And they felt like worthless days
All of a sudden they could feel it cool
Like oasis in the barren land
They sat there for hours together
As though their sharings had no end
Years kept passing
The Oasis kept growing
They sat together praising
The seeds they were sowing
He always spoke about moving to greens
But she wanted to be sitted there
She knew they couldnt be forever together
The thought itself was a nightmare
Then came a day, he got a pleasant call
His happiness knew no bounds
He jumped of joy and stood there tall
With green land all around
She was happy for him yet sad within
No longer would it be the same
For her it was like all is over
He was all set for a new game
For her their togetherness
Was like a dream that came alive
For him a dream world was waiting ahead
He was all set to dive.
Life in a desert and life in the greens
Their destiny would show varied phases
In the baren desert she only hoped
Sometime to see him in the Oasis.
He promised her,  someday he will
Surely again meet her there
But deep within she only wished him
Merry greens as she knew only to care.
