When Two Worlds Collide
Sitting still in a car,looking out
And listening within
A bright blue wintry sky punctuated
With land mines
Soft sunshine painting roofs
Amid the shattered ruins of Aleppo
Undressed trees coated with a silvery frost
And the pain of wounded children
A quiet peace broken
By the fusillade of firepower
Birds flutter
While shells burst overhead
Two worlds apart
Combined in one person
Listening and watching
Serenity and insanity
Incongruously together.
