Poem: Rays of Hope
By poet Abdul Rahman Al-Ashmawi:
The veil of night’s darkness shall be lifted,
Quenching the dawn with morning light.
The dawn will reveal what was hidden,
And unlock doors that once seemed tight.
The birds of desire shall sing again,
After their silence has been broken.
The raven will shed its shroud of gloom,
As the light of love’s warmth is spoken.
Despair exists only in diseased souls,
Shrouded in the heavy veil of despair.
I say to those who’ve lost their way,
And whose resolve has vanished near horizon’s flare.
The crescent moon shall bring us clarity,
And open portals to shine a star’s light.
The trees of loyalty shall blossom anew,
While the peeled bark remains hidden from sight.
The soil of love shall thrive after drought,
Rescued from arid fate by clouds that delight.
We shall ascend and rise higher still,
As ordained in the sacred Law and Book.
We have the noble Kaaba and the mosque,
Built by the chosen Prophet and his every flock.
We have the blessed Al-Aqsa and its stone,
Shrouded by monkeys and wolves that flock.
Three pillars stand in unison,
Glorious tales that history unlocks.
Should history be asked of its secret,
Our people hold a worthy reply when it talks.
And night is but the herald of dawn after,
Gloriously, the sun shall rise and rock.
Poem: Hope
By poet Mahmoud Darwish:
There’s still some honey in your bowls,
Drive the flies away from your honey bowls!
There are still grapes in your vineyards,
Shoo away the jackals,
So that the grapes may ripen…
There’s still a mat in your houses… and a door,
Shut the wind out from your little ones,
Let the children sleep; the wind is bitter,
So close the doors!
There’s still blood in your hearts,
Don’t spill it, fathers!
For in your wombs lies a child… there’s still wood in your stove,
And coffee, and a bundle of flames…
Poem: The Gift of Hope
By poet Mahmoud Darwish:
Whenever he thought of hope, he was struck by fatigue and boredom,
Inventing an illusion and asking: How can I weigh my mirage?
He searched in his drawers for someone who could understand,
Having pondered that question, but found no notes,
Just the heart’s quick demise and folly.
He found no document proving he feasted under rain without cause,
And each time he thought of hope,
The distance widened between a body now heavy and a heart filled with wisdom.
He stopped asking himself: Who am I?
Out of the familiarity with the scent of lilies and loud neighborly music.
He opened the window to what was left of the horizon,
And saw two cats frolicking with a kitten in the narrow street,
And a dove nesting in the chimney.
And he said: Hope is not the opposite of despair; perhaps it is faith,
Born from the indifference of deities toward us…
They left us to rely on our own skills to interpret the fog,
And he said: Hope is neither matter nor thought. It is a talent.
He took a pill for high blood pressure,
And forgot the question of hope… and felt a sense of relief,
From an obscure source!
