The Desert of Dreams

Dream 
palms sprout, 
wetted by sweat. 
Like an eternal rainbow 
in the sand, Dubai entices 
the world. It’s not a mirage over 
the dunes, but a stunning truth of 
the spectacular opulence. The culture 
mixing in the palette of desert with tints and 
shades of all continents is sublime. Our forefathers 
with hopes flying like falcons voyaged across the vast 
risk on the Fat Boat. No land is worthless. Oil transformed 
the arid lives. Philanthropic passion abounds in the petrol poetry. 
This warm city is pregnant with promises. The expatriates with diverse 
dispositions and complexions are cozy in the emirate’s benevolent heart.
