Dedicated to Ghadah and Reem. How painful it is to lose two birds with one word in a sleeepless night.



Once upon a chance

I caught a bird

I rubbed it’s feathers

With my trembling soul

It hummed for a while

With a joyful tone

But shaking in my palm

I had to let go

Staring at it as it ascends

Until hidden by dark clouds

I had to let go

I ought not to cage

rebellion souls

But filled with sorrow

I failed to say:

farewell ,O, bird

After hidden by dark clouds

I let go precious tears...

And whispered to sorrow:

Rightful to hug

And rightful it was

to let go

Your spirit ought

to cage not a revolting spirit



I failed to say:

farewell ,O, bird
