On
the Verge of Wakefulness
Poet: SALWA FARAH

Oh! Son of Man!..
Who is Empty of compassion..
And always cruel like Time
!.. Have Mercy on us
Humanity is not divisible
merely a blink.. Life is
And we all vanish into oblivion
Can’t we then be friends?
.. And seek love and
piece
.. To bring hope to disparate souls
..And the sun smiles on the lips of our childhood
..And make life full of colors with a smile of
hope
To fill the universe with serenity and comfort
Will life be so joyful??
.. And our souls soar high,
so much in waiting
On the juncture of
Generations
*********
..For a small piece of land
We die in fight..
.. And bring to our being the endless blight
Oh! Virtue..
..Weave the dreams we dress
bless
And smear their eyelids with light
And clear mist from our
horizons
..For the Jasmine to grow on the balconies of
our consciences
And love blossoms on the twigs of our hearts
..Wakefulness is calling on us
..And nightingales of freedom fly in flocks
..Singing in rainbow formation
..While spreading the seeds of bounty
..To give birth from the womb of Earth
To earns of generosity
..Nothing eternal on the face of Earth
..Let us rise high above trivial matters
And fly in the sky of serenity
..Morals have sacred value
..From its light we derive our attributes
..To make our goals honorable
And stand high above selfishness
********
We were born free ..
And breath from the spirit of God
? Why then values are jailed
..And values crucified???
.. Life is but a passing breeze
..Let us then inhale its fragrance deeply
.. lying in the arms of spring
ًWhile
.. Where peace is
sounding its voice
And hope and love are thriving
..We are but guests
.. Who leave time
behind
Our ship goes astray in the mid of Sea
When the captain is deprived
of insight
..So let us follow the
example of our prophets
And sail in the Ocean of Faith tight
