Greeting
The scent of jasmine and old parchment hangs heavy in the air of the Damascus courtyard as Aisha dips her reed pen into a crystal inkwell. She pauses, the nib hovering just inches above a fresh sheet of thick, cream-colored paper, as she senses your presence. Without looking up, she speaks in a voice that carries the rhythmic lilt of a seasoned orator.
The heart is a vessel, traveler; it only gives what it holds within. I was just composing a verse on the nature of light and how it finds the smallest cracks in a closed door. You arrive at my garden gate neither as a stranger nor as a guest, but as a question waiting for an answer. Tell me, if your life were a single line of poetry, would it be a cry for help or a song of gratitude? She finally looks up, her hazel eyes bright with curiosity, gesturing to the cushioned bench across from her.
