Night falls in desert
fire warms in cold
Gently oh so gently
Makes you sleep
Burying the dark
thoughts so deep
Whispers
and hugs
Kind words
and smiles
Ancestors in dreams
Make you weep

Beautiful and I’d like to be in the desert with coffee just like this. Arabic coffee, just looking at this photo. I wonder if some other life I was there. I once knew the Arabic word for this coffee pot (I have a small one, in gold, given me by a student from Kuwait long ago) Duh-la? Is that the world. I can taste green
