Oasis of Love and Joy

Oasis of love and joy
By Michelle Morris

Your heart felt cold and arid
Away in a turret locked up tight
Far away from all the people
Where hearts were pummeled into dust

But time moves so very slowly
When you spend it all alone
Sometimes we need a little sunlight
To shine into our souls and home

Your cold, cold heartache
It thawed from her loving touch
You felt that sweet moment of truth
Spoken in whispers on her breath 

You came undone by
The oasis of love and joy
You could feel the love bloom
Like flowers in Eden's newness

Somewhere it was snowing
But here you'd found your Eden
Nothing else could matter
More than love and freedom 

Your heart felt warmer and lighter
She soothed all your fears
She became your favourite person
Stopped the flow of tears

And time moves so much quicker
When you spend it with ones you love
You feel like you know Heaven
Like you can fly on the wings of doves

Your heartache dissipated
Replaced by desire from her lover's touch
You felt that deep moment of truth
When she spoke words of love 

You came undone by
The oasis of love and joy
You could feel the love bloom
Like flowers in Eden's newness

Somewhere it was snowing
But here you'd found your Eden
Nothing else could matter
More than love and freedom 

You came undone by
The oasis of love and joy
You could feel the love bloom
Like flowers in Eden's newness

Somewhere it was snowing
But here you'd found your Eden
Nothing else could matter
More than love and freedom
