Teaming with tranquility
Enchanted by the call of the Most Merciful
Whispers of serenity
How could such a soul ever waver
Or lose heart
At the sight of angry hungry wolves !
Nay, but the oppressors know not
Painting by Palestinian artist Imad Abu Shtayyah

In the pounding of the ocean
In the shimmering of a stream
In the colours of a rainbow
Caught in the net of a little girl’s dream
In the swaying of the mountains
and the curvy hills behind
In the whispers of a sparrow
To the scented meadows around
My soul is filled with poetry
My eyes sing of gratitude
Like an autumn leaf I fall
Spontaneous urge to pray
Then cries my soul
Don’t let that go
Don’t let that go
Don’t let their greed
Destroy our Home

Someone posed a question
“What colour is your soul?”
They asked
“If you answer this questionnaire
You will find out the colour of your soul!”, they said
My soul is a rainbow, I said
No need for a questionnaire
I know
My soul is a rainbow, I said
All shades of green
All tones of yellow
All shadows of blue
Sand and soil … grass and sky
Olive and almond … peach and plum
Flaming orange and burning red
Copper and crimson
Pink and purple
Coral and lilac
Silver and gold
Indigo and violet
Cobalt and scarlet
Aquamarine azure
My soul is a rainbow , I said

During such times of great upheaval, and under the duress of watching our world threatened by evil, trembling at the brink of annihilation, hearts feel heavy and tears leave its marks down our pain struck faces.
But deep down at the kernel of our souls, where truth runs unveiled, serenity grows untamed, love flows unobstructed and hope blossoms like a beautiful meadow knowing for sure that the Loving Creator, will not let HIS world get destroyed or harmed
Let there be Hope
Let there be Life
With endless love
and awesome wonder
We sing for Life
I want to hop
Mountain to mountain
Embrace the cosmos
From end to end
I want to jump
Up up so high
Kiss the blue sky
Sway with its wind
I want to sing
With happy canaries
Like a hummingbird
Flutter my wings
I want to play
Just like a child
With Ice and snow
With mum beside
I want to rinse
My aching tears
Cleanse my sorrow
As rain falls down
I want to pray
With a pounding heart
Such awesome wonder
And love so great
I want to fall
On my forehead
Rejoice this beauty
Gifted for all
I want to hold all that there is
Hide big and small
Out of harm’s way
Inside my soul

Over there, in the horizon
Facing the nebulous where Heaven meets Earth
By the ancient well, where baby swallows used to drink
Near the valley of almonds and prickly pears
On top of the hill of apricot and mulberries
Beneath a stone, removed away once, by my grandfather
To make a pathway for his flock of goats
Under a majestic olive tree
Between an array of irises and a lone poppy
My heart was born
Over there, in the horizon
Where I could no longer see
Clinging onto a stone,
Held once by a brave little hand
Far, far away from me
My heart was buried

Dearest of all
This soul is aching
Trembling in pain
Bodies of maimed toddlers
Bleeding in vain
O dearest of all
Heal this aching soul
With heavenly cure
O dearest of all
This soul is shattered
Weeping in despair
Is this our planet home , or is it really hell on earth
Does anyone notice, or even care
O dearest of all
Please mend this shattered soul
Caress her to endure
O dearest of all
This soul is tarnished
Screams of the dying, what a nightmare
Babies soaked in blood
More than anyone can bare
O dearest of all
Please rinse this tarnished soul
With mist and snow
O dearest of all
This soul is cold
Bombing all around, death is everywhere
Crowds of gazing eyes
But no one is there
O dearest of all
Please warm this cold soul
Love divine serene azure
O dearest of all
This soul is dimmed
Its spark has long gone
Extermination of Your children
O humanity, what have you done
O dearest of all
Please fill this dimmed soul
With wonders of your nour*
Cleanse it pure
A dewdrop agape
Dazzled in awe
Yearning to be with You
* light

Our humanity is reflected in the fragrance of our passion
for justice, compassion and freedom
A meadow at the core of our souls
Not in the shallow shells of mortals,
but in the deepest melancholy of our beings
There and only there
Our humanity is born
Teeming with love of the Creator and creation
There, blooms our hearts
with sincerity, altruism, humility and serenity
Where no dispute, no conflict, no fear, no anxiety

“My sister is Nour, she is five,
“Her name means Light”
“I took her out to buy some sweets”
“They bombed us, alhamdulillah”
“I was injured with shrapnel, alhamdulillah”
“My sister is a martyr, alhamdulillah”
“My sister is a bird in Heaven, alhamdulillah”
“We want to live in dignity, like all people, alhamdulillah”
“We are not afraid of Jews, alhamdulillah”
“We are patient, alhamdulillah”
“I am from gaza, alhamdulillah”
“I support the Resistance”
“I love the Resistance, alhamdulillah”
Lema… Your few words shuttered my being
The deluge of your silence uprooted me
The calmness of your screams tormented my heart
The twinkle in your eyes, despite your wounds, haunted me
Lema, a melody of a Canary
A heart pure, delightful
Astounding wonder
From God, a sign
Lema, a mystic Psalm
Glorious, sublime
Stars above, pounded in dismay
The echo of your pain
Heavens knelt down, sobbing
The aura of your mighty grace
Words diminished, forgot their meanings,
Before your enchanting poise
Lema, sweetheart
Lema, a face of an angel from paradise
Lema, a scented rose, inspiring awe
Allow me to lay my head
Beneath the shadow of your pain
Kiss the ground,
Blessed with the touch of your toes
Lema, sweetheart, don’t cry
Your beloved is now free
She was Nour . . . Now she is Light
Shimmering in the heart of a green bird
His nest, a lantern of supernova light
Engulfed in joy, flying around
The Throne of the Most Loving, Most Kind
Singing rainbows and butterflies
Leaping up and diving down
Meadows as far as the eyes can see
Abode eternal, tranquil serene
Angels sing her lullabies
Peace be upon you
Peace upon your beautiful soul
Peace and bliss forevermore
At Heaven’s gate she often waits
Those she loved and much adored
