THE JOURNEY
.
For Amna Kiran at the Opening of her Exhibition “Self-Reflection”
On 8th of April 2016, Solas Gallery Ballinamore
.
The eyes see illuminated manuscripts
The artist reflects on her own story
Her skills born in the East
Grown from ancestral strands in Lahore
Birds took you West of Pakistan
On wings of hope, with words of poetry
Transitioned into green lands of Ireland
A journey from the vision to the word
You travelled soil and ocean shores
Till you took roots for family & friends
A fabric of belonging & belief
Your pilgrimage in watercolour & ink
Unfolds your life before our eyes
Takes us on your heart´s journey
As fellow travellers
“My heart, my fellow traveller ” – Faiz Ahmad Faiz 1911-1984
