and thereā€¦harold dreamt,
he dreamed of a boat,
one with a brown bottom,
and a rusty green rutter,
and it spun
and it spun,

the siem reap river,
of sunkissed toffee color,
he sailed on and on,
and stared at his brother,

he looked up above from the boat,
straight up at the hot steamy sun,
and his large white eyes,
stared up at a bird,

it was white and small,
with slender yellow legs,
that held a grace,
unlike any other

the crane flew in one circle above his head,
harold watched as it plummeted to the brown water below,
and at the last moment of its decent,
it shot up and across his horizon,
until it vanished

Fledgling no longer, She sails through the night,
Past the dark days, her soul; it takes flight,

Woman she becomes, Knowledge she consumes,
The past she revels in, history she exhumes,

Nest she builds; stained from ancestral blood,
Life no longer contained, now emotional flood,

Parallel Pair; numerical symmetry,
May she live long; another plus Century.

Best of wishes to you. May you succeed in all of your future endeavors.
