The minds eye for M lady Tammy

 

 

The minds eye

 

The beauty of the desert lands

 Lies in the multi coloured sands

which vary with the light of day.

Only the nomad understands.

By night the dunes look black and grey

but alter when the moonbeams play

 across the valleys and the peak.

Creating pictures which cannot stay.

The beauty that the nomads seek

 is to the desert lands unique.

Invisible to western eyes

which view the barren sands as bleak.

The beauty of desert lies

 in what the viewers mind supplies.

It is in the very story hidden deep within the sands that brings color to the entire landscape. A great piece

[James K. Blaylock]

Man, I really loved this piece. The desert truly is a peaceful place.
