Redolent

I close my eyes

And fool my senses

And take barbed wires

For picket fences

Redolent of the ostrich

That did not want to see

Her world as it appeared to be

Imagination growing

Knowing

I’m ALMOST free

Picturesque

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.

Sonorous

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.”
