Poetic Verses About Fathers
Here is a poem by the poet Mahmoud Darwish titled “Father”:
He averted his gaze from the moon
and bent down to embrace the soil.
He prayed
to a sky without rain,
and forbade me from traveling!
The lightning ignited the valleys
where my father was
raising stones
of old, and creating trees.
His skin sweats dew,
his hands make the trees leaf.
The horizon cried a song:
He was an Odysseus, a knight…
In the house, there were loaves
of bread, wine, blankets,
horses, and shoes.
And once my father said
as he prayed on a stone:
He averted his gaze from the moon
and warned me about the sea and travel!
On the day when the Lord whipped his servant
I cried: O people! Shall we disbelieve?
Then my father narrated for me, and he lowered his arm:
In a dialogue with suffering
Job had thanked
the creator of worms and clouds.
He created the wound for me
not for a dead man or an idol.
Such is the wound and pain
and I am reminded of regret!
A planet passed by in the sky
down, down
and my shirt
was between fire and wind.
And my eyes contemplated
the drawings on the soil.
And my father said once:
He who has no homeland
has no grave in this earth.
And he forbade me from traveling.
