Oasis of peace

Claude Monet
Canal in Amsterdam

Right inside in the middle

Of the oasis of peace

Where even the hardest riddle

Feels like a goodbye with a kiss

In a kaleidoscope of yellow

Sweet bitter tastes of gold

Where every goodbye leads to a new hello

Where you feel young even when you're old.

Here I float without end

In the glow of green serpentines

And every moment here that I spend

Feels like in the middle of my dreams.
