Two month wait begins…
Reunited even though
We have yet to meet
Two month wait begins…
Reunited even though
We have yet to meet
Glad to be back home
Petals adorn my doorstep
Rows of blossom trees
Sunscreen clad tourists
Kohl around bedouin eyes –
Rose in the desert
Perched above Amman…
Roman remnants alongside
Umayyad ruins
Living side by side
Might as well be worlds apart –
City of contrasts
Continuous rain
Life under occupation –
Shimmering and proud
Dusk and it’s mild
Boogie, the hotel’s cat sleeps –
Echoes of Athaan
All under one roof –
A multitude of races
And languages heard
Evening air lingers
With the smell of barbecue…
End to a fine day
Sitting on the step
In the brightness of morning –
Different bird songs
