Together Poem by Houda Boukassoula

TOGETHERNESS
Looking like blossoming sprouts
Nourished by the same water and ground
Heated between sun and cloud
Cuddled by a gentle breeze
Together we used to grow

severed when winds are fully blown
We may turn white, yellow or brown
As winters into autumns flow
Profound joy and sufferings we undergo
A deep sigh might release the sorrow As time marks we try not to show

If only we choose to grow together
Hand in hand we may swim across the river
We will certainly reach the shore
May be tired
May be sick or old With a past we cannot wow
Yet we'll safely cross together
At the end of a tunnel we will see a glow

If only together, not alone
We choose where to go
And make a bright future our vow.
