just a big puddle

Oasis

You don’t seem to be able to
call on Love directly.
You are back from the desert
but you still haven’t met.

You do run into Gratitude though.
She seems to enjoy
hearing words of thanks.
She speaks of the beauty around her.

Maybe someday she introduces you
to Love. Are they related? Someday
you’ll know.
