Have You Ever, Seen a Father Like This?

Posted on November 7, 2021 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

It has been said
Every cup seeps out of what it contains

My father is an exemption

Trenched in sadness
Filled to the brim with pain
Yet always oozing fun and joy

A bundle of delight
Captured in a human form
Bouncing with elation

Sharp in his wit
A magnet of humour
A storyteller without a rival

A sparkle of light
Landed from Heaven
Intense… flowing poise and euphoria

Endearing to the oppressed
Fearless before the cruel
Gentle, yet audacious

Cheeky, mischievous, playful like a child
Adored by little ones
Charming to all around

Graceful like a scented rose
Awesome in his wisdom
Eccentric yet sublime

Serene in his demeanour
Modest in his splendour
Humble yet grand

To his curious mind
Knowledge is his quest and treasure
Learning, from cradle to grave

To his loving heart

Every human is his brother or sister

Every family is his very own

To his sensitive persona

Every person is a saint

Worthy of the prayer, “may God be pleased with you”

To his grateful soul

Every day is Eid

Every moment is anew, worthy of celebration

A smile-painter, life-infuser
A heart-healer, pain-soother
A magic-performer without a wand

A bright light in an ocean of darkness
Earth is much dimmer with his departure
But Heaven is glowing ever brighter
Paradise is rocking with angels’ laughter

Don’t Miss Out

Posted on January 2, 2021 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

Get off your seat

Hold on very tight

Your fractured wings

And tearful soul

Meander outside

With a limping heart

A dreary story

A sack filled with pain

Wander in a meadow

Hug a weeping willow

Kiss a sleepy flower

Sway with the breeze

Flung open the gates

of your weary heart

Exhale all sorrow

Breath in the Light

Send waves of love

Up up so high

Violet and blue

Paint pink the sky

Awe struck in wonder

Bathing in splendour

Draw the world a rainbow

Up above the clouds

Watch God’s glory

Cascade like rain

Watch God’s wonder

Cascade like rain

Watch God’s love

Cascade like rain

We Teach Love, Sir

Posted on December 5, 2020 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

Only in Palestine

Two Palestinian prisoners, one has been sentenced for 21 years and his friend has been sentenced for 7 years.

The friend who has the lowest sentence and after the approval of his mother, put a request to carry an extra 7 years on behalf of his friend, and to reduce the sentence of his friend.

His request was approved and they both were released together yesterday, after 14 years in prison.

They celebrated together, along with their mothers, families and friends.

God’s Language

Posted on November 11, 2020 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

God speaks in many different ways

God speaks in light, shades, colours and rainbows

Ultraviolet, red, mauve and umber

God speaks in codes and cryptic language

Pi 𝛑 and Phi Φ, crystal clear, baffling signs

Harmonious psalms and magical numbers

Gods speaks in letters: “be”, WOW, it is

In waves, in quarks and supernovas

Infinitesimal, gigantic splendour

God speaks in images that capture your soul

Can you hear the melody of a baby’s hand

wrapped around his mama’s finger

God speaks in rhyme, sublime and tender

In the fragrance of a flower

Embracing life with joyful wonder

God speaks in roaring prose, majestic, supreme

In the pounding of the ocean

In the yowl of piercing thunder

God speaks in a voice, august superb

In the trickling of a stream

Running its course, no rest, no slumber

God speaks in hymns, enchanting serene

In the awe-inspiring DNA

and the elegance of nuclae

Gods speaks in empathic poesy

In the sorrowful tears of a doleful child

and the shimmering sparkle in his hopeful eyes

God speaks in sonnet of elation

In chants of gratitude and silent prayer

In the grace of souls, teeming of devotion

God speaks the language of brilliance

In the axioms of mathematics

In stars dancing, harmonious motion

God speaks in Divine verses

Perfection and bliss, imbued in euphoria

Infused in hearts of prophets and children

Stay still

Close your eyes, open your heart wide

Can you hear God’s throbbing whispers?

قدس الأقداس

Posted on October 4, 2020 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

عندما تتألمين تتألمين بعنف ليس كألم الناس

عندما تحبين تحبين بعنف ليس كحب الناس

عندما تفرحين تفرحين بعنف ليس كفرح الناس

قدس الأقداس أنت

باعك الأنجاس في سوق النخاسة

عجبت هل من شئ على وجه هذه الارض لم نتعلمه منك؟

حتى وأنت ثكلى مثقلة بجراحك، تعتصرين ألما

تطلين علينا من محرابك بابتسامة فاتنة

تلقيننا دروسا في الفرح والعشق والامل

كنا قد نسيناها

وي كأن الله عندما قسم الجمال اعطى عُشره للكون ووالباقي كله لك

وعندما قسّم الطهر اعطى عُشره للكون والباقي كله لك

وعندما قسّم الصبر اعطى عُشره للكون والباقي كله لك

وعندما قسّم الآلام اعطى عُشرها للكون والباقي كله لك

وعندما قسّم الافراح اعطى عُشرها للكون والباقي كله لك

وي وكأن دموعك القدسية تأبى أن تنساب إلاّ مزاميراً بنكهة الجنة

علمينا الحب يا حبيبة فإنا قد نسيناهُ

علمينا كيف نجني الفرح من صحارى الأحزان

وكيف من بذور اليأس نحصد الأملا
