A Timeless and Immortal Mystery
By Wael Al-Jishi
Is a scream from one spot signifying birth
Ululates echoing melodies of delight,
A cry from over there,
A scream lamenting a soul,
That God has made the soil, its resting place,
A vibrating sensation invades me,
Upon yearly rounds that trigger war and fight,
O life , thou art an endless ,immortal mystery,
Since the day that a crow taught Gabriel,
A lesson that has layout,
A conduct and a habit,
Lest man never have second thoughts about,
That one day he will fulfill his shot ,
Though one day he has to wear out ,
And back to soil , his resting place , one day no doubt.
