Walk this way
To the water
Where the goats
Cleared a path.
Walk this way
Where the feet
Of the ancients
Have passed.
Walk this way
Little brother
I will give you
My hand.
Walk this way
And together
Our adventures
Expand.

Don’t be fooled by the blush
Or swan’s head
In a bow
Strength does not always show
But do not try to
Chow
There is more to this beauty
Than what meets
The eye
Even if in first glance
She appears to be
Shy.
Fun Fact: The tuber of this flower is semi-poisonous. Fishermen would grate it, mix it with water and lime, and sprinkle the mixture in lakes and ponds to stun the fish so they would rise to the surface to be collected.

There is harm in the air
Infants caged
Children scammed,
There are guards
Bearing guns
Tearing babies from arms.
Those before us who fought
For the hunted, the hurt
Weep in graves
As the country they served
Mutates to enact
Inhumane acts
On the wrong tracks.

The more chaotic life becomes
With power hungers gaining ground,
The more determined then I am
To point the beauty that surrounds,
The heart and kindness that abound
And the true peace that won’t succumb.

Water-worn by the ages
By the floods
By the rain,
Time has carved
Eras’ layers
Through the rock
Grain by grain.
Scars of years
Line the wadi
To funnel life –
None in vain.

In a city that
Never
Sleeps
It soars high,
With the weight of the
World
Hollowed out,
Scraping sky.

Hold my hand
And we’ll go
Up the hill
As we sow
Seeds of light
For the thrill
Of just watching
You grow.

Surely all would admit
Something here does not fit
King or not
No one ought
To require this bed
For their camped royal head.

Half-wildling
Half-tame
She sometimes
Knew her name.
One moment she’d hiss
The next she would purr
To allow or dismiss
You from stroking her fur.

There’s a path in the park
Lined by mulch from trees past
So that every step presses
What had grown,
What won’t last.
