Free Spirit

I do not count the

feathers when I try to fly;
I simply wing it.

by Jody Pratt

Migration

The air redolent with the smell of henna

The chun‐chun of bracelets in gleaming wrists
Even the moon looks ecstatic on Eid eve
Incessant smiles begin the day
family and friends cherishing every moment
thankful just to be together
So much lost with one decision –
Migration
