I Never Thought
The beaches were just a shadow in my eyes
There were many others in your shadow besides me
Roses of the moment blooming in Garden
They could scatter in the merciless mirages of the heart
I never thought of the waterless companions of Hajar
They could also fill the ocean of desire
I went down into the deep sea
The beaches were just a shadow in my eyes
There were more series in your eyes
There was a song in my sigh
There was a scholar living with your loneliness
Take the mercury of your wound in your lips
The stars shone with your beauty
Take the moon of your memory in your eyes
I never thought I was alive except you
There were many others in your shadow besides me
There were more chains in your eyes
Someone was suppressing a song in my sighs

A Bridge Among the Flowers
To my dear and beautiful granddaughter, I've needed to write this letter to you for a long time now. I just didn't have the words. I'm not sure if I even do now. But this is my feeble attempt. Forgive me if I don't use the proper pronoun or gender when I am referring to the "you" that I know and love. I'm new at this and still very confused in my "Boomer-ness." I think you already know that I am having a difficult time wrapping my head around these concepts. But it doesn't minimize my love and adoration for you.
