We seek oasis, safe and warm,
A beacon shining in the dark.
We need a fire to light our spark!
We long for shelter from the storm.
When troubles come, they come in swarms
And prey on thinking that’s confined.
We’ve lost our way, because we’re blind
To greater good and higher plan.
Yet guided by an unseen hand,
We reach oasis in our mind!

I like the twist at play with the line: “We need a fire to light our spark!”

Wonderful!
Such a beautiful poetic SSS. I love that last sentence.
