The burst of flavor of zaartar(thyme)
and freshly roasted sesame seeds
the tantalizing aroma of a whiff
of freshly ground and brewed coffee
the sound of vendors on the street
the shout of Good morning how are you
the wave hello of friends
no matter where you go
just a few things to miss
just a few things
to remember
and smile
It’s spring again
In case I forget.
The song of birds,
Sweet melodies
Burst upon my soul
The sweet soft cool air
Caresses me
Even the “Acadiny” tree
Heavy with sunshine fruit
Inviting me
Enticing me
To taste just one, maybe two
My soul sings
and breathes in
Joy
I guess it’s Spring
Once more in Lebanon
Come to life Beirut
Sparkling Bright
Bubbling Sparks
All over the night
That’s it Beirut
Sparkle away
It’s time now
For you to
Shine once more
Take my hand Beirut
And I’ll take yours
Let’s dance in the Spring air
Breathe in Life once again
Beirut Dance
In the streets of Glory
Once Again
Yes for sure Lebanon
I breathe you
I’m aware of the fact that living beings
need air
to breathe
to live
I noticed a few things in life
one is that each country
has a different scent to the air
Lebanon’s air is
Bitter Sweet
Just
Like Life
At night as I walk
night air is Sweet
Morning air
Spicy and Sharp
I open the door
and a rush of
spring air greets me
in winter
Lebanon’ s spring and autumn
somehow similar
they both have a
sharp bitter sweet aroma
it’s like a mixture of winter and summer
and i can only say
its an inhalation
of the fun to come
in the playful sun of summer
and in autumn it helps us to have hope all through winter
and be ready for the warmth
inside
