وما أن خارت قواه، وأحسّ بأنه سيسقط...همَ بغريزته ان يمسك بسواعد رفاقه...غير أنه ما أن رأى الأرض تحته، والتراب قد استحال أحمراً من دمه...هوى ليعانق الأرض التي أحبَ
* * * *
باكراً رحلتم
تاركين وراءكم
أشياءكم الصغيرة
وأحلاماً كبيرة
وأسماءكم
وأشباح ذكرياتكم
ووطناً...نراه جميلا ًفي ملامحكم
جميلاً ...كما الأزهار
حرَا...كما الأطيار
نوراً....ونار
عظيماً رغم خلافاتنا
وحروبنا التافهة
رغم خطايانا
وألاعيب السياسة
فهل تغفرون أيها الشهداء لنا؟
و كل عام وأنتو بخير....أشتقنالكم

BEAUTIFUL!
amen ya Hashem
did you write this? it's lovely..
Thanx Coco...
yes, Laila, I did. I'm happy you love it. It's really sad where we reached in politics in Lebanon...
I took the picture last summer, and I had to run away....to where the martyrs lie...and talk to them.
Al Azhar..Da7noon and Skooka3 to our martyrs..Expressive words. I love these two flowers. To me, they're the utter representation of everything beautiful.
Thank you Hashem for reminding me.
I can't believe it..Tom is the BIG DAY..the day I dreamed about my entire childhood.free south, no tanks, no bombs,no,no,no,no..and mawqua3 elsawda that bombed my school every other day destroyed..this was a dream like day..and until I read ur post I had no recollection..I would not have remembered it was tom...who have I become? what did this place do to me? this is scary..
Thanks for the post
now that I am rereading ur post I am not sure if this is what u were talking about..but regardless, thanks for reminding me..and to all martyrs who gave Lebanon so much, "tosbehouna ala watan"
Mar-thank you for the nice pictures I linked.
Anonymous-ofcourse I was referring to it....and this was my greeting to them in this largely forgotten anniversary....only 6 years ago.
Whoever you are تصبح على وطن

مساكين هالشهداء، شو بدّن يغفروا ليغفروا...

Eve- thank you for showing me how to make my computer ناطقاً بلغة الضاد
Mirvat-Viva...we missed you that day in my chat with Fouad....hope you're having a good relaxing time...
I'll always speak and write in arabic as long as I'm still dreaming in arabic...

I didn't know they returned the Martyrs' statue to centre beirut. is it back to the same place?
As always, great poetry hashem. Illi ma bia3rfak biejhalak.
