Oasis Of Nature Poem

By RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Crossing ditches, walking down washes, no water to be seen
until another storm.
Climbing mountains with heartfelt anticipation at sights
that will be seen on the way up.
Locating natural beauty everywhere I glance, a desert oasis
on sides of mountains here in Phoenix, Arizona.
None that look like pictures with palm trees and water in
the midst of desert plains, but an oasis of nature just the
same.
