Cradle of Life

Intense heat ripples across the vast sand dunes of the Serengeti where it intersects with the silent shores of a rare desert lake a calm, cool oasis for both man and beast. Taj Mahal of the desert it is a liquid cradle of life coveted by a thousand tongues as languid lake mesmerizes drawing all that breathes to its scarce waters, casting a mirage like spell, beckoning with reflections set off by the hot desert sun, to come. Salvation for the weary traveler primal waters implore, drink! Drink to the full, and be filled! For blessings, unforeseen are at this footstool of life a sacred spot, touched by the hands of heaven offering a haven of rest, respite and tranquility for all who want. Written on 4/9/2019
