Once upon a time
When I was a little girl
My dreams were wild and colourful
Just like my hair
Like all boys and girls
I grew inside a rose
When I was a little girl
I played around
Floating over waterlilies
Bouncing in the shadow of poppies
Hiding under garden leaves
and in my grandma’s shawl
Gathering stars
Thumbelina I was called, by my fairy friends
Who often hovered around the hills of Beit Iksa, where angels dwell
Chasing lilac footsteps of my fairy friends
Fluttering my wings,
I flew up up and away
To the peak of Nabi Samuel
Up there
Close to Heaven
Overwhelmed with the magic of my existence
Astounded by being AWARE
Full of love, unbound
Mind blown away
In adoration
Face to the ground, I pray
Praising the One Sublimes
For a wondrous gift of life
At twilight, I made my way down
Rolling in a metal barrel
Heading to my grandparents’ home
Little children gathered
Hearts pounding
Eyes open wide
In curious anticipation
Listening to my grandfather stories
Of men, women and children
With lives of purity
And hearts of gold
In the stillness of night
We could hear prophets breathing
We could see them praying side by side
Bewildered by the grace of mother and son
Into dreamland, we drifted away
Where love grew on trees
Peace covered the ground
Kindness filled the oceans
Joy descended from the sky as rain
Colourful words swirled around
YES . . .
Once upon a time
I lived in HEAVEN
Nostalgic, I recall

Poetry for Palestine 
Flower of tranquility
Emanation of sublime
Calming of the water
Lantern of the mind
Radiating essence
Rushing up the way
Strings dynamic hummingbirds
Echos rolling waves
Gardens of all sanctifying
Blooming living earth
Nurturing with starlight
Drawing universe
Heavens of the moment
Hearts rush to the sky
Weaving through in butterfly’s
Tranquil flowers of sublime
..peace..
