Beautiful Day

- St. Louis, MO, 2010 -

Looking up I see,

A sun shining so brightly,

In this cold winter.

Nothing Gold Can Stay

- Lone Elk Park, MO, 2009 -

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

- Robert Frost (1923)

Fifth Day

- Missouri Botanical Garden, 2010 - 

You,

who quench my thirst, 

like rain that falls for the first

time in the desert,

removing all of my hurt,

giving me a high,

as I,

in hopes this spirit will last,

break my fast.

Eid Mubarak :)

- Missouri Botanical Garden, 2010 -

A day of happiness

As we sincerely pray

For Allah's mercy and forgiveness

To make our sins go away

 The month of Syawal we welcome

As we seek to make amends

A tearful farewell for some

When beloved Ramadan ends

Sayings of Love
