Oasis (plural oases)
A well surrounded by vegetation in a desert.
A quiet, peaceful place surrounded by busy or noisy places, or
The park was an oasis in the middle of the busy city
One could say a 'place of water within a sea of sand'.
One could say a 'place of sand within an ocean of water'.
Synonym
(quiet place surrounded by busy places): island
Um Al Ma (place of water)
Vaul
Gaberoun
Scarinish
Um Al Ma
Traigh Cornaig, looking towards the green.
If I had a choice, to finally reside, in a special place my mind has set aside,
I would have little doubt of it's name, Traigh Cornaig for my ashes I would explain.
But as for the Eden, I have already seen; 鈥楿m al Ma鈥 is the philosophers dream.
And as the moon pulls away from the shore and our boat sinks slowly in the west, I bid you fair winds....
