The desert breezes patterns weave,
My camel strides along,
Hoping for some silent help
An oasis distant song,
Does he feel whispers from a palm
Heard by him alone
Hope springs eternal in my heart
A desert telephone?
Do desert choir masters speak?
For I have heard no sound,
His pace has quickened, a silhouette,
An oasis found!
Palm trees wave their jagged fronds,
He sensed their silent song,
A secret knowledge known to him,
His footsteps hasten on.
The desert fountain welcomes us,
Sweet blessings from its font,
Fulfilling now a long lost dream
Each challenge to surmount.
I reach for pad and pencil's words,
Computer print can wait,
My muse is bouncing thoughts and words
And tapping at my gate.

About Me
- Staying In Touch
- Vernon, B.C
- My niece encouraged me to start a Blog, so I needed a name that had not been used before. I asked my son for some input. "That's easy," he said, "Just name it after your book that was published a few years ago called "In Touch." It also was already taken. He suggested adding an "ing" to the first word and it was accepted as "STAYING IN TOUCH." If my style appears familiar to you, it shows you have obtained my book or borrowed it from the Library and that's always nice to know. I have prepared a work entitled "Sayings of the Sages," which I will send on my Blog from time to time. I will always give them a credit line. I sometimes send in human interest stories for publications and radio stations. Thanks to our son, Ken, who showed me how to set up my Blog. With working summer jobs and winning scholarships he was able to pay for all his own higher education expenses. At graduation he was awarded the Gold Medal as top student at the University of Victoria. This will encourage others to do their best and be able to provide for their own higher levels of education.
