Desert Rose (A New Year Carol) Poem by Hasan Maruf

Let your words bud
As they are whispered
Into a barren world

The flowers you create
With your poetic voice
Sprinkle across the hills

Smiling up at the sun
You bring color
To the vast void

With your tender blooms
You add beauty
To the Wasteland

Where people thirst
For healing wisdom

You are a desert rose
Gutsy and Strong
Surviving against all the odds

To bring a gentle peace
To a weary world
