A Travel through the West

by Swila Bathool
(Karama, Dubai, U.A.E)

Traveling from the north I know
Spreading the wings to pass like a bow
having a long way to pass
to reach an end in the line that has mass

In through the west, the way to success
cutting the barriers to have some surplus
these prickly ways, with thorny bush
will be kept away with a mighty push

The guardian as we see
the strong barriers unable to free
might lose by cutting the shield
but then have in the prickly field

Some may reach in the way of brightness
and some may fail from the way of righteousness
but the journey along the west
will make a slight movement from the crust
