Oasis of Peace by Rais Boneza

Under the laden sun,

Between the winds of sand

That whisper between land and sky

Arises the usual thirst,

Appears an island of serenity

Distant from boiling cities,

A land of asylum

Coming from oblivion,

Helpful and refreshing

Where grows the palm tree of peace
