Sitting on the swing in my backyard- قصيدة بالانكليزية

عبد يونس لافي

 

Sitting on the swing in my backyard

Abd Y. Lafi

 

On a clear, sunny day,

not just the shimmering pond

and the fragrant fruits,

hanging from my trees,

give me joy,

but also

other things

I see.

 

 

Huge, dark mountains of clouds

produce lights.

A wave pushes lovingly

a smaller wave.

A sweet river anxiously

hugs its twin

while animals happily

dance together

on a small spot in a dense forest.

 

 

Showered by clouds and

carried by waves,

I hugged the merging rivers,

and yes, I danced!

But these nanoseconds sadly

flew away.

An ant, creeping underfoot,

pushed me hard, found her way,

and waved with a big smile,

“Sorry! Blessed is your day!”
