Spring In Isfahan

S pring in her steps she wanders in wonder R ecoils in amazement retraces the year I gnites the haven the Persians call ‘bunder’ N o regrets but resilience beyond graffiti of fear G ive me hope she exclaims I will not go under I n the semi desert one forgotten Iris blooms S urpassing the ruins and shackles of tombs C risp early morning she takes shelter in beauty O h Allah protect me while my husband is gone M y children are hungry for them it’s my duty I nstil all the love past seasons have foregone N ever give up the new summer comes closer G ive praise to beginnings a flower’s composer S pring might well bring all the Peace we deserve O n this day with the spring and lonely florescence O bituaries settled and truce's armistice observed N o winter shall break her so true to her essence 30th March 2017

Thanks Phil. Spring in Canada must be beautiful. I visited last summer and am taken by the 'normality' (coming from Zuma's South Africa). The little glimpse I had, is wonderful. And then the country of Leonhard Cohen (RIP)...Many wishes, Kai
