The love for Somalia
like a downpour of
sweet fresh water
off the ground
the ills of this nation sweeps.
The newly born bonding
with the plaintiff
resuscitates the forgotten
Saint.
Dare to love
and you shall be
in the rush
to come home.
Cool Southerly breeze
and a North cheerful
are a unit in the Attar.
A body a plane boards;
Somalia is my sanctuary.
@ Safi Abdi
By the door a beggar praying:
walking, laying, sitting, standing,
Waiting for Peace.
What are they saying?
What are they seeing?
Are they as naked as
the beggar by the Door?

Come in speed, Friend to this being in need
Grasp this hand stretching wide
Treat your senses to the fragrance of peace
Hop onto this wagon of hope before we miss the boat.
We tarried for too long in the rags of dispute
Impaired our sight in the dusky zone
And lost our ways in combat fatigue.
Come quickly to this friend in need
Listen to this voice above the din risen
Catch this light put forth for you and me
Cast off these fraying sheets scratching my back
In the showers of Summer bathe freely with me.
Hop onto this wagon of desire burning anew
Come share this shade in the gentle wood
Touch the blossom with tenderness
Our worlds let hearts united scale the heights
Leap into the arena of expectations grand
And soar with the birds free at last.
From the shackles of bonds man-made
On the changing winds let the hopeful ride
As we cuddle the star born anew
With an olive shoot let's write today
And let our verses on the milky way pour.
A dreamer that I am
But I study the seasons with an eagle's eye
And have witnessed a frosty stalk melt on a Sunny day

The light is on, there…right here...
Not yonder!
O ponder;
One is one!
They agree on the sum
The-God is One
They diverge on the count.
Gullibles galore
Love’s in the misread;
O Ponder!
Life’s a whiff
That’s the con
Consent, or not
God is One;
O ponder!
