A LOVER’S BEAUTIFUL HYMAN
Poem by: Mahmoud Said Kawash
Before now, I was there
Dwelling on the hills of my village
With my fellow men
Uphill where the earth
Held my glory, breath and splendour
I was in Mirun
Where lie my origins
My identity, my people
My place of prayer
Where my flock crawled
Before now, I was there
Hopeful and joyful
Singing gleefully
Not knowing grief
Or tears of pain
Or cries´-or-wails
Before now, I was there
Ambitious and optimistic
My path was long
Embracing the echoes in the way
Embracing my very roots
With blissful yearns
There was no sound
But a lover’s beautiful hymn.
