A Priceless Diamonds Poem by Atef Ayadi

Tonight,
The trees
Are
Wearing
A beautiful
Diamonds of ice.
Each tree is unique
And more beautiful
With the ice
Sparking and shining
Under the street light.
I could not resist
My mind taking me
To wander
And imagine
Feeling this beauty
In the wilderness
Under a complete moon.

It is a dream I have been chasing all my life
I have it
Now.

I stopped
When I thought
Which tree
Resembles
The diamond
I have been chasing for Eileen.

I always see
Eileen like a tree.

I closed my eyes and
I tried
To see if she is standing
Up
At the side
Of an important avenue,
At the intersection,
Beside a building,
At a parking lot,
A part of a little
family
Compacted in a little woody house,
Surrounded fairly by abundant light,
Or
Dark lonely street,
Or
In the wilderness
Alone,
Or
Possibly with other trees.

The moon is always following her.
