" THE CACTUS PALACE "

A distant shore, a distant time.......a vision
In the hearts of men.........a legend
The forgotten Cactus palace
Where only truth is entangled
And legends unravel
The truth about water
That never, ever, dries from the sun
Where only ~ men of God and Faith
Can locate the pearly well
And rise from the desert's secrets
As a cactus,
To nourish his brothers
At the sacred oasis
Known only,
As "The Cactus Palace"
Where,
The well never runs dry
For there,
Faith, is overflowing
Where God
Is ever nigh......
