She wished to be
A lissome tree
A home
For leaves
For flowers
To grow on
Her wish was made true
Now she sits under the sun
Taking in its beautiful rays
Finally becoming one
With this universe



She wished to be
A lissome tree
A home
For leaves
For flowers
To grow on
Her wish was made true
Now she sits under the sun
Taking in its beautiful rays
Finally becoming one
With this universe
A vague memory
A picturesque scene
As the world was ending
I dared to dream
Of the life I have now
Of what seemed so out of reach
The image solidified
As I laid on this beach
…….
If you know my story, you know that I was born in Iraq and escaped the war around 2008. I feel so blessed by the small things and the big things in my life right now. Grateful for it all.
Here’s some AI art of my creation inspired by this poem. Going from war to calm.
The wind howled
The ship swayed
The sonorous sirens’ cries
Made night of day
As the darkness veiled the light
Her true power shone bright
No evil shall come
The ship was female run
The siren spell broke
By the words she spoke
“I’m the captain of this sea. I do not fear you, but you must fear me.”
(Images inspired by this poem)
She passed by swiftly
Unseen
The kerfuffle of the trees
Woke them from their dreams
The goddess of the wind coming to say
Wake up, we must fight another day
(Images created by me using AI inspired by the poem above)
There I lay
With a wistful gaze
Stars turning to ships
Coming to take me away
A warm cup of coffee
Blanket on a rainy day
View of a rising sun
Knowing here
I can stay
The apricity of it all
On a Sunday
Simple
Happiness
She tries to find him
Under another’s skin
Lost somewhere
Deep within
Shape-shifting
Changing
Never staying the same
She calls them all by his name
In her happy place
She writes
Uninterrupted
Ocean views
Giving birth to what’s unpredicted
Tales of memories long gone
There
She creates her new home
Castles of sand
Standing alone
Solidifying as she writes
The little girl didn’t like to wear
Her curly hair
She wanted to fit in
I could dye my hair
But I can’t seem to change the color of my skin
Wish I could go back to say
You’re beautiful just the way
God created you
Perfectly
Unique
