Soil And Flowers Poem by Freeyad Ibrahim

I walked through a field
I saw no flowers
But a fragrance of flowers
filled the field
The air
My nostrils
Surely
The scent was of flowers
I looked every where
But no trace of flowers
I sat in the middle of the empty field
Mixing confusing thoughts
fell on me like showers
Intoxicated I closed my eyes,
minutes turned hours
Suddenly a far faint voice talked to me
Sir
Listen
It is not a wonder
Why you are dizzy
with the jasmine scent
Here.. this piece of land,
this very plot of land
was once a flowers garden,
which the drought devoured
And now the fragrance
which makes you
fell in trance
comes from the soil
that for so long,
accompanied
sweet smelled flowers.

That is exactly what happens
when
Accompanying good people
for a long Time!
