Berhan Mehari Poems

My lucky star
So close yet so far
A star so pure so true
That make me feel better and yet blue
...

Hear me out; listen to me
i'm begging you
just give me a moment
(silence)
...

I am alive and not ready to leave
Coz I know someone who gives and give
Give more of herself
Than anything else
...

O- you wretched souls of the night
Be careful of the eternal light
Why have you chosen to play evil
To manipulate and ill
...

Thank you for your lives
That you have lost just for us
Thank you for the legs,
The arms, ears and eyes
...

You are a flower
A beautiful flower inside out
Soft, fragile and yet such a stout
You are just magnificent and rare
...

When I see your smile
When I see your face
It’s the moment I lose
The sense of time and space
...

I was walking this morning
I almost forgot it was thanks giving
Till I opened my mail and found out
A mail from my friend selamawit
...

I never said why
When i had my good day
And won't say why
When i get my bad day
...

You lift me up
So high upon the mountain
And when I looked down
I saw the world
...
