Free Freedom

Posted on January 21, 2018 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

Life has taught me

The most wonderful thing about it is

All its treasures come free

* * *

Rocks and pebbles

Amazing stones

Mighty trees

 

 

Shining stars

Sky that shelters

The air we breathe

 

 

Hills and mountains

Shores and valleys

Rivers and seas

 

Sand and soil

Snow and rain

Clouds and breeze

 

 

 

Hands that feel

Hearts that dance

Joints and knees

 

 

Flowers and roses

Colours and shades

The eye that sees

 

 

Enchanting sounds

Humming birds

The ear that hears

 

 

Friends and family

Love and joy

The smile that heals

 

 

I also learned that

All its creatures… born free… born free

 

Why is the fight then?

Why oppress? why enslave?

When freedom is for ALL

And ALL is FREE

Hour before the Dawn

Posted on August 24, 2017 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

* * *

Earth is throbbing in curious anticipation

The avalanche is fast approaching

People dazed in deep sleep

Some eyes are peeled as if they know

* * *
* * *

Time to retreat, weary soul

Time to retreat

Rest in a niche where Light descends

Hand it all over to the One Supreme

Carve a hole in your heart, braid your loved ones in

One by one

* * *

* * *

O soul

Put your temporary house in order

Clean up the mess before the storm

Pluck up the weeds and plow the soil

Scatter the seeds for those to come

Give it back better than you received

Stunning… Atrociously beautiful

Humbly put your head down and pray

A modest sign of ample gratitude

* * *

* * *

Raise your gaze up to the sky

Note the signs to your dwelling place

Adorn the garden of your home eternal

Let love flow free, let kindness prevail

Follow your soul, she knows the way

Let her guide you to your heavenly abode

Beneath the Throne of a Gracious Lord

Gaze in amazement at the glorious sight

Wither to nothingness before the Majesty

Splendour no eye had ever seen

* * *

An Ode for Hope

Posted on August 20, 2017 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

* * *

The more they deplore, attempt to destroy

The more I fall in love, fiercely adore

* * *

* * *

The more they imprison, crush or trash

The more I delight, hold dear and revere

* * *

* * *

The more they smash, sever or detach

I will kiss it better, wholeheartedly embrace

* * *

* * *

Do as you please, choose evil be vile

Break me, you will never… shake me you will fail

* * *


* * *

My inexplicable verve -driving you insane, is not of my own

A droplet from above, bequest of the Divine, Most Loving Sublime
* * *

Once Upon a Cloud

Posted on April 14, 2017 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

Up I jump, high I fly

On a rainbow stairs, I reach the sky

To a silver cloud, I tie my dream

So no one could reach, but I

With moon ray blanket, I wrap it tight

Give it a hug, kiss it goodnight

Leave there until a day comes

Heavenly grace, before I die

I pick it up and bring down

No questions asked, no how or why

Plant its seeds in fertile hearts

Then watch it bloom before my eyes

Stop, Listen, Look, Hope

Posted on April 9, 2017 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

The universe began, as far as we know, in a chaotic massive explosion, some billions of years ago, then slowly but surely the dance began; energies clustered, particles joined together, atoms formed, matter was born.

Then again slowly but surely, matter began to swim in orbits, galaxies twirled, stars swirled, planet formed, life was born (at least on the planet we live on)

Then ever since, we have been witnessing chaos moving to supreme order, mayhem to beauty, random explosions to fine-tuning, to consciousness, to morality, to kindness, to breathtaking beauty and exquisite harmony, despite all what SOME humans are doing.

It is this magical journey from chaos to balance, to beauty, to harmony to awareness, which indicates that we are moving forward, evolving with LOVING GUIDANCE, which in turn gives us boundless HOPE, despite the misery we are living today.

Thus whispers the kernel of my soul, to which every atom of my being celebrates and dances to, in every heartbeat and with every breath

An Ode to Love

Posted on April 7, 2017 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

In defiance of their hatred, in defiance of their oppression, in defiance of their wars, in defiance of their destruction, in defiance of their death-promotion;
I sing for Love, I sing for Peace, I sing for Creation, I sing for Life

Hereby, I stand to defy their WW3
Would you come and sing with me?

 

We were not created to destroy

But to ​love, ​protect, cherish and enjoy

Every atom there is

To marvel, be in awe

​To bow in glorious wonder

​Before the Majestic, Most Sublime

Like an atom in its orbit,

O​r​ a floating butterfly

​L​ike a dolphin in the ocean,

​O​r a feather passing by

​Like a flower sweet and tender

Or an eagle flying high

Like a baby’s face glowing

As he sings his lullaby

I twirl in ​august ​adoration​

Fading to nothingness

Mind blown to smithereens

Soul bouncing in the sky

Agape

Posted on March 29, 2017 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

.

Left to my own devices

Head wobbles

Heart frozen

Soul parched

Deaf, dumb and blank

.

  .

A droplet agape

A whisper from above

Words bounce in quantum leaps

Seeds rapture

Buds tremble

Flowers sway

Poems abound

All in bloom

.

Makeup Prayer

Posted on January 26, 2017 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian

❤ ❤ ❤ For all my daughters and sisters in humanity ❤ ❤ ❤

May your lipstick be honesty

May your manicure be kindness

May your powder be tenderness

May your bracelet be courage

May your ring be patience

May your perfume be love

May your hair do be humbleness

May your eye shadow be modesty

May your glamour be your graciousness

May your charm be your thoughtfulness

May jasmine be your wreath

May purity be your wedding dress

May wild flowers be your precious jewels

May your heart pound with humanity

May your soul radiate with heavenly beauty
