Poetry is capturing a scene, an event, or a deed with your eyes,
Processing it in your mind,
Feeling it in your heart,
Letting go, and
Expressing it with your words.

The princess of the sea, Beirut, triumphantly will rise above her sorrows and wounds. For over five thousand years, she has grown to be tough and resilient.  With the break of a new dawn, Beirut will be enchanted, and will be wearing her garment of beauty with a welcoming smile.

After sinking deep into darkness, a glimpse of hope has gently whisked me away to a magnificent world of beauty!

What makes the sun so magnificent?
What drives the moon to appear so gorgeous?
What compels the stars to twinkle in the night sky?
What stimulates the flowers to smell so delightful?
What causes the butterflies to flutter so elegantly?
What inspires the birds to sing so joyfully?
What makes the ocean waves dance so gracefully?
What aspires Mother Nature to be so captivating?
What prepares a person to be so enchanting?
It is a whisper of love!

It takes an abundance of love and care to cause a flower to grow and blossom.

A black man struggling to breathe,
A Yemeni child searching for a safe place,
A Palestinian man struggling to be free,
An African villager dreaming of clean drinking water!

A lonely man longing for company,
A homeless person dreaming of shelter,
A hungry child craving a home cooked meal,
An orphan yearning for a mother’s touch!

A disabled person dreaming about walking,
An elderly man wishing to visit his loved ones,
A sick patient praying to be free from the pain,
A COVID 19 patient wanting to get off the ventilator!

Sending love and a prayer to those who have such beautiful dreams.

You haven’t spoken a single letter,
Yet your muted words have voiced
A thousand interesting stories full of beauty and mystery.
