When yin and yang
wish each the best
with a calm big bang
they tune in with zest.
Walk arm in arm
or an arm held.
Free from harm,
they feel safe and weld.
No need to play an elf
game and lie.
It's okay to be self.
Be the best ally.
With love, they help and try.
Care with no cry, "WHY?"
Able to talk with ease.
True, sure of each and sees.
When they meet each need and are kind,
true love will glow, grow, and bind.

Istanbul is a city bristling with life, a place where past and present, sacred and profane, intertwine under the watchful gaze of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque. As I explore this crossroads of cultures with Maya, my nine-year-old niece and the daughter of my late brother-in-law Frank, and my wife Nadia, Frank's sister, I find myself on a journey not just through Istanbul's history, but also into the depths of my own beliefs. Staying with Maya and her mother Elvan, my sister-in-law, I begin to see the city anew through their eyes, and to understand why James Baldwin said it "revived" him.

Beautifully done 🤍
One of your many lovely poems that I have missed, at least this will get a read now
Now, how did I miss this one? Beautiful poem, Babs!
I'm glad I didn’t miss this!! Very touching!!
Love the yin and yang Babs!
Ying and yang of love. Now that is a novel approach to the challenge. Very interesting Babs.
I love this, Babs! You are the first I’ve seen mention yin and yang for this challenge. I think that is not only what attracts two people to one another, magnetically, but also what keeps them united. Each contributing something unique to the relationship, receiving from one another what they would not have on their own. 🖤🤍
True love will grow, glow and bind. Such a beautiful line! Loved your poem!
