Safari

Thoughts in

shorthand

head in

the clouds

that tone

goes on & on

when it ends

it’s gone

“clear as a

bell”


the ocean's

motion

the cat’s meow

the phone rings

in the Sahara

the sky is blue

there is no one to talk to

I hope you have found the tree of light and that the fountain is again flowing with its stories for you. Every oasis is also a mirage but that does not stop us from seeking, seeking...

We are not alone.

Beautiful poem.
I think there is who to talk to, you can talk to the sea, the stream is always willing to speak
