Fata Morgana

A deep and cloudless sky Scourching vast coloured desert dunes Behind some Bedouin tents A fata morgana at the horizon An unreal world faces the traveller -------------------------------------------------- Ein tiefer Himmel Verbrennt endlose bunte Dünen Hinter einigen Beduinenzelten Eine Fata Morgana am Horizot Unwirkliche Welt für den Reisenden

Your poem enhances my desire to visit the desert, Gert. Also, brings back memories of the film "Lawrence of Arabia." Very much enjoyed taking this journey through your great tanka. Love, Carolyn

That sounds like a unsafe place to be on that desert but those Bedouin know how to handle the travel there...Keep the creative pen flowing..Sara
