Egypt

and i miss the Nile the scent of dark soil fisher men in solitude the birds' songs the lovers' cries the dogs' barks the sound of crushing of old leaves on the side walk the warm hearts the frustrated smile of people hoping for a better tomorrow the bean street food carts gathering the rich and poor the cheep beer the dizziness the good company the whining at the end of the day the 100 years old trees still standing the stillness of old people in balconies watching time passing them by the spinix standing tall the pyramids fighting senility me fighting time and boredom and i miss the rain the lonely winter nights by the fire place and my books my poetry and you your smile at me your laughs calming the storms unforgotten forgiven
