A woman in oasis

Power supply went off again.

There was no water in the tank.

We could not run the washing machine.

We waited and when power came again

The water wasn’t sufficient

to feed the machine.

These things happen here

and we are used to it now,

so don’t fret and fume about it.

Instead watch the match on the TV.

My team lost there too.

This morning I chose to read the

newspaper from front to back – after

many years. It only carried

stories of women and their grit,

determination, kindness and beauty.

---

I have never seen an oasis;

I don’t need to.
