Oasis

Her road was long and she traveled far

Thus the Oasis beckoned

She sought refreshment, renewal, rejoice

And some rejuvenation 

There she stopped by for a spell

To drink and bathe in the replenishing well

Satiating her thirst and hunger

With water and a man much younger

Happenstance or happened by chance

It's really all the same

It was respite for one or both

There shall be no names

I found this brave and determined, but sad, terribly sad!

I was that younger man, many moons ago.

I can promise you, definitely respite for both.

Thanks guys! Wasn't sure about this one...
I was having dinner at an open air cafe on a late Tuesday afternoon. I noticed a LOT of middle aged women dressed to impress on their way to the upscale bar around the corner. The image stuck with me. Then I read
"Sociology of Stress in Office Settings" (#fiction) by Randy Horton. ...voila!

Reminds me of "Touch and Go" by SLF, but from the other point of view. Well written, Lisa.
