Malala Dreams…
…of a thousand friendly faces
and senses new uplifts in thermals of air
Her life glows in a limelight
of borderline as she awakes
Hold hands with Malala
she has a cloud street of stories to share
She is your mother
your sister
your daughter
you…
and a cumulus of women
Whispers of camaraderie swirl around her
blow those whispers into howling gales
release them into free convection
She is your tipping point
your conscience for resistance
your resolve
your hope…
The air is flowering
where Malala dreams
Eilidh comes from Glasgow, grew up in Ontario, studied in Wales, and now lives in north east Scotland with her husband and collie dog, Smudge. She writes poetry and short stories, which have been published, selectively, in print and online over the past few years.
Malala is one of my heroines, thank you for writing about her Eilidh/
This is so lush and gorgeous and tender and full of hope; I love it!

Thank you Rachel and Wendy 🙂 and even better for today, Malala is in the news tonight as she visits Nigeria in support of the girls kidnapped by Boko Haram.
