Budding

and not knowing

how the jasmine heart

was ticking, and beating

What was going on

in the world at that moment

besides budding?



Oh how the jasmine

would like to stay as white

always yearning

for the lasting...



No matter how the flower kept silent

it keeps dwelling

in some color

in a sky in a world of its own

in the meaning of memories

when there was nothing

then risen and suddenly blooming

and certainly not knowing

why, or where, or

whom will hold it in the end

whose hand?

which blessing?

Maysoun, it is not for us to know
just be - This is beautiful!
Keep writing - keep being jasmine.
