the valley that haunts me,” says Jordanian poet Ramzi Ghazwi.

Reflecting on his strolls through the wadi, he notes: “How often I felt myself a tree, swept into waves of clouds, or a blossom nestled into a crack on the valley walls.”
“The tribes of trees and blossoms were my family… I was with them — I spoke to them through the wind and its whispers.”
With expressions of gladness that he lives “side-by-side with these gentle creations”, Ghazwi adds: “I would suffocate if I could not see the trees in my day, or speak to them, or hear them return my peace upon me.”
“They answer my questions, quenching my longings.”
Ramzi Ghazwi is a Jordanian poet, author, and columnist, and winner of literary awards.
