A Local Voice

I was born in Dubai, my voice first broke between the creek and the gulf, it was carried on the northwesterly Shamal winds, over the rolling dunes of the Rub al-khali, to quench its thirst in the oasis of Liwa, then unto the stones of the Al-Hajar mountains to find its home on the cost of the gulf and like the dhow that sailed unhindered to the cost to find it's way back home to me.
