One Path
I think what I will remember most
About you is the top of your head Or maybe it will be your hands That engulf mine in a valley. I don't know if I am safe here In this land that is fully yours Yet I come and stay awhile You move to make space for me. Now I am a boat adrift at sea Longing to be moored You might be an anchor or the wind That blows like a lost tumbleweed Your mind is an ever-shifting landscape In morning light it's a wide, open field I can traverse with ease By nightfall it darkens into a forest. Where a dusky leaf langur hides Its leaves are thick with mystery The streams are endless And I see more than one path. By Nadia Ayesha QLRS Vol. 21 No. 2 Apr 2022_____
