Desert Rose

I close my eyes
Only for a moment and the moments ..gone..
All my dreams pass before my eyes ..a  Curiosity….

Dust in the Wind….All we are is ……Dust in the Wind

Wahiba Sands-Sultanate of Oman.

Cruising @ 160 km per hour…..passing by…hamlets like Rawdah, Samad Ash Shan,
 Al Akdhar & Lizq..Sandy Landscape all around ……humbles you…It seems endless and with winds blowing ….you see the sand dunes formation….Layers of Sand …spread on the turf ….like a blanket…Surreal…feeling..

Wahiba sands are longiitudinal dunes 210 km long & 100 km wide…Sands can be spotted in all shades of color..from orange to hues of amber…

First thing which strikes you interacting with the Local Bedoiuns is how trivial our existence as human race is ….we are so fragile….so many elements has to fall in place for us to exist…..

Dates are Kahwa are still the staple diet……..Camel milk is the elixir and its meat ….indulgence….Good lords !!!

Wish we had a similar existence and a simple equation for survival…..

Driving through the dunes…is a luxury in a decent 4X4…

Late evening was magical with the sun-set and lying on the desert ….staring at the horizon….Cloudless ….

No medium required to connect to the Lord !!!

Whisper and HE  hears in solitude…..nothing between us…….from his perspective we are nothing but Dust in the wind……….HE makes us rise & fall……spread our wings …

Reaching back home after the morning prayers……it was a very blissful……..Mind cleared of all cob-webs…..Dusted & wiped clean……….

It is like a re-birth………Only hitch being…….the fear of lying down…..what if ……….I crumble into sand……….And wind will blow me away…….This thought drifted in my mind……..till I dozed off …tired and contented with my self….

Morning will be an ordeal………..Got to rise like the Phoenix to face the world !!!
