I too like a camel without a tent. <br />Started my journey; 'The transfer' <br />Thinking of my loved ones. <br />Oh! they are very far away. <br />I left the port of Rabigh on 11th of May,2006 <br />a sunny morning at eight o'clock. <br />It's a Limousine! and I feel very comfortable like in paradise. <br />I must thank God for this opportunity. <br />It takes almost eight hours to reach Duba. <br />On the way you can see a range of mountains <br />and a huge endless desert like my wounded poor heart. <br />Lamp posts and date trees whisper something <br />but the harsh language is a misunderstanding. <br />Dusty wind is a lullaby for baby camels. <br />There are some females in the bus <br />who travel with their covered faces. <br />I haven't seen a woman's face since I left home <br />and it's almost four months now. <br />A little girl with an open face who smiled with me. <br />Oh! it's like an Oasis? <br />This innocent smile has no restrictions <br />which tells me an unending story without any prejudice. <br />'My dear uncle you know that life is a journey <br />from the cradle to graveyard.' <br />And she questioned me with her poetic manner. <br />' What do you prefer uncle, either Aladdin's wonderful lamp <br />or money? ' <br />' I struggle here to collect my scattered family my dear sparrow <br /> and nothing else.' <br /> <br /> <br />Dedication to the Editor of lankaweb.com<br /><br />nimal dunuhinga<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-little-girl-s-smile-gently-soothes-my-soul/
