I searched for you
In the eyes of people
In the stories of the old
In the blue of the sea

I searched for you
In the lure of my dreams
In the truth of my lies
In the bliss of my screams

I searched for you
On the map of our defeat
In the dictionary of their words
Between the stars

I searched for you
Between the cracks of my feelings
In the nests of revenge
Under the petals of pride

I searched for you
In the gloom of my nostalgia
In the sky of my sorrow
In the dawn of my hope

I found you
In the core of my heart
Engraved with letters of passion
Palestine…..a flame
Whispering warmth and light
