GARDEN WALK

GARDEN WALK

Earth Day

The lush green responds to careful steps.
A slight breeze welcomes the sun,
As shapes of flowers scatter
Along the path
In yellows, purples and crimsons.
Beneath the hollies,
A small bird hovers
As wings soar and sing in unison.
Grapevines birthing leaves appear
Delicately between thin branches.
The earth is flourishing in colors and tones,
And cloudless skies of the purest blue resonate.
A red tulip in a cerulean vase reaches high
Sunlight tells the story of growth appearing.

"Daughters Are Also Sold"

In the era of ignorance, it was heard
That they were often discarded.
Mothers would abandon them, and fathers would cast them away
To a distant place where deep wells would swallow their cries forever.
Even today, this tradition persists
In my country,
In remote, desolate regions,
Where the poison of poverty seeps through families.
When a little daughter dons a crimson dress,
She becomes invincible.
All her dreams remain tethered to her tiny feet,
But alas, her laughter never returns.
Her emotions are bartered away,
Her precious eyes lose their value,
And she herself is sold without a price.

"Anila Bukhari "
 

" I'm like a star"

Give me the freedom to write my own story.
My tears show me the true way.
I am like a star that shines brightly to show the way.
I am like a bird that cannot be caged.
I am like the fire that burns inside all of us.
I am like the raindrop that write its own fate
I am the ray of sunshine that sets everything aglow.
I am like the fragrance that scents the entire world.

Anila Bukhari
