- - - - and you shall find


Am I - - and oasis which

The thirsty traveler hails?

A shop - - seen from an island,

A long awaited sail - - - ?

Shelter from the rain

Of life's incessant tears - - - ?

Balm to ease the pain

Inflicted by unkind years - - - ?

A breath of air that puts

To flight the odor of dreams

Long dead - - - ? A presence

Dispelling the fear of night - - - ?

Pillow for a weary head - - - ?

- - - All these things I well may be

(From another's point of view)

In seeking - - - please don't fail to

Consider - - - I am searching too.
