Dubai Creek Ferry

Shimmering reflections of the city,

Recede like photographs in an album.

Bur Dubai looks tinier

We steer towards Deira.


The tower of a pretty mosque

Echoes the evening call for prayer.

The golden sky-line

Illuminates the horizon.

Another boat sails by

Dressed up in twinkling lights

For the nightly Arabian Fiesta

As if a bride for her groom.


Cool breeze

Soothes my bare skin

As I simply watch, and wish

That we never touch shore

Deira, we alight.

The ferry sails back,

A magical carpet floating away.
