And a picturesque spot to rest and refuel for a while.

A short down-climb led to a high cliff that...

There's an oasis of calm within you,
That stress cannot erase.
It shows in the way you cope with things,
Though not always on your face;

But you have faith well grounded,
Deep within your core.
This faith will boost the hope in you,
To help your spirit soar;

And if by chance...

Perfect makings of a daydream
Dancing carefree on a sunbeam
A deep breath and my eyes close
The air inviting as water flows
Seeping in serenity to the core
Despite the stir the rush the roar
Thunderous clamor of majestic falls
Ascending spirits soar I hear their calls
Rising mist emanating from another...

Rumi's verse, "The desert beckons us as if it were the oasis,"
           ____________________________________________

An endless, lifeless moor—arid and fright.
A withering sun whips souls—toils to ignite.
Sans shelter or relief, ghost winds stand.
Dry air...

Opelescent sky casting a pink glow

As I walk slowly through the hourglass of time

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere 

I find your footprints on the sand

Spring water flows across the desert of my heart

"Morning arrives when the brilliant sun first kisses the earth." Quote Written By Poet

I am turning red like a lobster.
Water is needed for my survival,
but none can be found.
Sand covers the ground in all directions,
how did I get so...

    in tough times and desert wanderings

Oasis

The cup of kisses
Poured from lips
Such savage beauty
Must fight for breath
Its grave the body
Relinquished
Rides hurricane winds
Of coiled fascination
The images of everything

The tangles of thought
Are ribbons of the sky
Cloud born vaults
Lightening the blindness of souls
Dancing in the hail of caresses
With thunder roaring
Catching smiles
In the echo’s of...
