Emotions Unveiled- Guest poems by Annamaria Ayyad

Herald
Looking out the frozen
window on this February morning,
I hear the Herald of
spring on his perch above the garden.
His dapper vestment of
feathers for official declaration.
The red-winged
blackbird's shrill announcement of spring,
Melodious in the crisp
cold air of dying winter.
Shake off those
blankets of mother's bundling.
Hear the humming of
the giant yellow sun rising.
It is time to wake,
young princes,
Into the garden of new
beginnings.
He calls for you, sent
by God's hand.
His duty done, he
flies to other sleepers.
Awake, awake to hope
and new life.
Cries the Herald of
Spring.
------------
I Weave
I weave a garland of
the
Flowers that hang on
your gate.
They bleed soft
purples and pinks
Petals that still hold
heaven's dew,
But they pale against
your beauty.
I gather the crystals
of the earth
Wash them in the
waters,
Dry them in the kisses
of the sun,
But the lights of your
eyes
Make them seem stones.
I find the fire at the
core of being
And in it all the
desires of this world.
Yet, when I bring it
to you,
It becomes a candle in
the ocean,
Compared to your
radiance.
