Mirror Of The Oasis
By: Noah Eaton
7/7/01

Wherever the cygnet rests her eggs
The golden gander resides deep within
Fledglings of grace hatching in ones hidden valley
The latter taste Trinity offers absorbed in paternal reason

In a mind where focus varies from a parents own
And the sandstorms that bury that joy beneath insight is insatiable
Ever lies a small but genuine jewel
Rising above a vast region of lethe, where the beacon is shackled

What is first seen as a mirage to the eyes of a youth
Grows to be a faint whisper as camouflage unfolds
Compensating for the loss of innocence and the gravest sorrows released
A holy grail to thirst upon, such an antique to behold

Blind ambitions we all may see, but all creations have reversals
The blind can see in approaching His reflection, fellowship imbuing darkness
Not merely a wishing well, but a tool of enlightenment
Quenching the thirst for faith to surmount our greatest fears and anguish

Gods eye rests inside you, awakening to recognition
His love but your peripheral vision, clear to acquiring
The next time sorrow leaves your heart feeling desolate
Remember His mirror lies on your soul’s oasis, where His word is echoing

Noah~
This is just so lovely.
Your command of vocabulary is astounding.
You not only draw the image, you color it too !
Beautiful thoughts.
