CRYSTAL OASIS
A Journey Through the Mind's Magical Map
Today's Adventure
Today's adventure began with crayon and paper, and an imagination inspired by a caped crusader.
I've created this map in a snap. Don't get me wrong-it's not just like any old song. It's a vision of mine that can't go wrong.
Self-gratification is the mission. Enjoying life is led by a map created with the mind's precision.
Join me on a trip to a magical place. First, have a seat. The sun is hot. They say not to sit under it for too long. As you lounge beneath the shade of an umbrella, goals are set and dreams are made.
Through many trails, black caves, and open spaces, we witness scenes reflected in the eyes of many different faces. The oasis can be found in many mystifying places.
Not everyone has enough green. So we zig and we zag. We detour and we lag. We find reasons to brag.
An emerald tree was created from a seed. Can't you see? You are that tree, rooted by a family's deeds.
Winter, spring, summer, and fall-no one told us about these weathered detours at all. Yet on this cloud, we learn there are leaves that change color at the Secret Falls. Destinations are often limited by the things that distract us all. These stops made on a train ride we call the seasons say it all.
We ride up an imaginary misty mountain called Mist Maitner, created by the mind of a shift-shaper. The sky above is created by God, the Painter. While on Earth, the dice are thrown among the native palm flats that are relatively unknown. By now, they have outgrown what we once knew.
What is this crystal oasis?
Perhaps it is a creative outlet, a place for the mind to wander across a map of a daydreamer's adventure.
