Prince Of The Tamarisks
By: Noah Eaton
3/1/00

Well, I'm out here in the desert,
the environment of revelation,
land of the abstract
The sky is encircling with clouds and light
whose ultraviolet perceptions
send me kneeling to the sand
I am standing on the interstate of hermits and exiles,
ones who have sought to find reality.
And now I am the Prince of the Tamarisks,
whose urbane bow shapes the land

The sandstorm emerges,
it's austere cry agaping the dimension of consciousness
It briefly stops,
the euphonious atmosphere responds to you
as the clouds break up and fade away
The hawk soars across the atmosphere,
the scorpion scatters across the sand
I have become one with the desert,
I have become the sun that reflects it's mighty ray.

Michaelangelo paints the desert sky a violet shade when the daylight disappears
I crawl down on his soft ecru sand
and gaze up at his enchanted pastel atmosphere
The speeding comet flows across the sky,
and dives through my head while I sleep
For I am the Prince of the Tamarisks, whose sapphire eyes have nothing to fear!

I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth
I can see the sun set and I perceive

Noah: Another masterpiece! You have captured the desert atmosphere so perfectly.
The picture is magnificent! I enjoyed visiting the site and reading more about the desert life, also.

WOW...feels as if I am there. I loved the images of all the creature life, and the paint in the skies that are the desert pictures I've seen. I loved this. Thanks for sharing this!
