Today I'm in awe Like great miracles Perfomed a decade ago That left prophet Habakkuk in awe Today I tremble down to my knees Like the Israelites at the red sea When seeing the impossibilities Of the sea being divided As I say goodbye to the roof That became my umbrella In the rainy days feeling cold And gave me warmth I say goodbye to the house That became my refuge And a hiding place Still I called it Egypt Goodbye to the place That denied me peace But left me in pieces I couldn't even pace Today blood Become thin like water New relations awaits us Finally I call it home

CALL IT HOME
I pull the curtains over tight so the sticky light will not let in the morning. I miss waking up in Europe with the strange European light coming in pouring in the narrow windows of Dutch Tower houses or busy Berlin apartment streets with kebabs cooking and kids crying the stillness of frosty Dublin suburbs in the winters and the bite of the air on bare cheeks and knuckles and the eerie sound of invisible birds and clock towers belling on Sundays resonating in the crystal air. And I start thinking about all the things I never did which is sometimes worse than thinking about all the things I have done

Europe
Hate the smell Hate the taste Hate that thoughts are easily erased Can't change that fact So I'll leave I won't look back Find a new place to call my own A new place that'll be my home

Not Home
The pouring rain has gone The bright sun get up It's blue now I'm walking on the rainbow stair Then the white cloud pick me up I just sit on top Feel the wind whispers Trying to convince me, not to fear While birds are dancing Accompany me to stroll I just arrived in front of a castle Full of blooming flowers and welcoming me Then I want to stay there If I could.. ♡
