Birthday thoughts promise of ever together From Morocco with love my loving child truly the desert contains hardships and great mysteries our time there still lives among the Dunes along the now forgotten caravan routes the silks flowing from ancient Cathay the spices from old Bombay the great tribesmen Of desert lore shimmer in the blaze of the noonday sun and in the moonlit oasis where the tents are temporally fixed this people found Life amidst deaths harsh realities they smile and laugh and pass over endless sand this temporal strand provides life’s wonders you can See it in the eyes of the people when all that is open is the eyes everything is wrapped protected but through the soulful eyes you can See Dreams life’s vivid imagery that slowly flows a colorful dance even perchance a city caught in the far distant night to enrobe in comfort Unfurl treasures only the desert will ever posses in the blackness light does cast its glory on hidden paths followed they contain human Beings living histories told in grand detail our story is all so told in this pantheon that bends from sky portals conversation thought lost Comes winsomely to the hearing heart it gives the eyes power to create the whole of what was once shared tenderness mingling In shaded shadows see the two statures one large older the other youthful and smaller wearing fezzes and laughing the knowing of Souls connected at life’s deepest level night forever chases day we said many things voiced and unspoken our bond not subject to Earths design alone but made of enduring quality that finds not itself in body’s indifference and the test of separation but souls that Never divide they are currents a stream that can and is lived underneath surface equities it represents an unbreakable ownership To each other removed from sight but this only strengthens enlarges the greatest part of existence that which is unseen but is more Real than the natural world that seems to dominate its power is generated held in all of its provisions by immutable power that can’t be forfeited our earthy life limited to what we see but all texture of deep thick meaningful discourse is only acquired by side stepping Our fleshly house and delving into the souls maximized internal capabilities that only can satisfy human needs and desires these extend Beyond time we are creatures who crave above all things permanent unbroken existence the desert is God’s text book to that end You don’t see it by casual observance but by protracted study and a heart that must know and have realities that earth doesn’t provide. So happy fezztive on your special day in the breath of the desert today a name is softly spoken daddy Jack
