Amazing
Posted on August 9, 2013 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian
.Did you ever wonder
What is it that shakes your being
And makes your soul tremble
As you stand before New Life
In awe and awesome wonder
.
.Did you ever wonder
What is it in watching New Life, that melts your heart,
Tickled with love, swathed in splendour
.
.
Did you ever wonder
What is it that makes stand there
Gobsmacked in silent thunder
.
.
As you see a child smiling
A baby kitten purring
A new leaf budding
A tiny deer climbing
A scented rose blooming
.
.
Can you smell the freshness of your soul
As you look into a babe’s eyes, with eyes open wide
Can you see yourself smiling
As you hear him giggling loud
.
.
Such is New Life
Coated with sweetness
Imbued in beauty
Wrapped in mystery
Woven into WOW-ness
Radiating tenderness
Full of grace
.
.
Always grabs you by the core, with breathtaking joy
Its colourful magic
Touches the soul of your soul
.
.
Have you ever wondered, why?
.
.Could it be that
You have been an eyewitness
To the miracle of creation
Still unsoiled
Fresh, raw and pure
Newly delivered from the Divine Abode Above,
A precious gift of the Most Loving, Most Sublime

الحرم الابراهيمي في ثوبه الجديد

Detached
Posted on August 1, 2013 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian
Life was raging all around me
All was surreal
.
.
I was looking at me
Madly searching for you
I knew what had happened
I felt sorry for me, I embraced
.
.
I was watching me
Sobbing… trembling
With my sore heart throbbing
I put my arms round me, and comforted
.
.
I was hearing me pleading
Begging for help
“Do not be afraid”
I whispered in my ear, and reassured
.
.
I could see me in the distance
Frozen… lost… lonely… petrified
Staring at the oblivion
I rushed towards me, held my hand
And took me home
.

Only love grew
Posted on July 31, 2013 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian
When I was a little girl
My home was a tree-trunk
On a white cloud
Up…up… in the sky
In this world of mine
The sun shone forever
All seasons were spring
And love grew everywhere
In gardens… on trees
In the streets
On roof tops
In the rivers
In people’s hearts
And on their tongues
Visitors to my world
Wondered how
And why
Hate didn’t grow
Hate couldn’t grow
The secret was
In this world of mine
People could read
Each other’s minds
So, they came to understand
How others feel
What others mean
Why others do
And where others stand
That’s why
In this beautiful world of mine
Only love grew

Soul songs
Posted on July 26, 2013 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian
Would an electron stop spinning?
Would a photon cease vibrating?
Would earth lie down to sleep?
Thus, the poetry of my soul
Gushing out regardless
Throbbing in deafening silence
Wether anyone is listening
or I sing alone

Inner beauty
Posted on July 26, 2013 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian
Hesitant
Zooming in
Getting closer
Expecting a tedious bore
To my surprise
I found a pearl
Hidden in the deep
Concealed
By layers of my ignorance
Thrill is never over
Every layer I peel
Reveals still
Beauty beyond imagination
I wonder
What will I find
If I ever get to the core

Just come with me
Posted on July 24, 2013 by Nahida Exiled Palestinian
I want to take you out
.
I want to hold your heart
In my little palm
.
.
Take you out, just for a day
Show you the world
.
.
Drifting with the breeze
Sitting on an autumn leaf
.
.
Flying with humming birds
Bouncing on clouds
.
.
Riding backs of dolphins
Diving with blue whales
.
.
Sliding on a rainbow
Painting ruby skies
.
.
I want to take you out
Show you the world
.
.
Gliding between mountains
With colourful butterflies
.
.
Surfing seas and oceans
Swimming in the Nile
.
.
Floating between galaxies
Counting night stars
.
.
Racing with twilight
Travelling throughout time
.
.
I want to take out
Show you the world
.
.
Holding on your hand
Clinging to your heart
Just come with me
.
Come with me
