Perhaps what hurts the most
Is that I can no longer go
to where I once called home...
I cannot roam with childish glee
Down through the leafy grove
Nor play with snowballs, dance is snow
Then thaw beside the stove
I cannot use pink...

The Bulldozer In My DreamThey have been wandering for decades
Journeying to the land that was promised by their forefathers
A land that would seal the faith of future generations.
They rove night and day guided by a single pillar of light
Looking for the land that was just minutes within sight
But faith...

Umbrella of LoveUmbrella of Love.
If you drive along the asphalted narrow road that runs
Parallel with the vine plants, turn left, you will see
A muddy road more like a track now after rain,
From here you have to walk till you see a quiet little
Corner where two...

Bloody RiverI took a ride through the park to relax my mind
I stood on top of the hill observing the burnt trees
standing patiently waiting for someone to take them in
The entire place was empty and the smell of wild berries saturated the atmosphere
The...

Mount SinaiBehind Mount Sinai
On the asphalted road to a seaside town there is a hole in
the road, a nasty hole a car hitting it could have a bad puncture.
A rocket, albeit a puny one, caused this.
Fired by people who will not take...

and the two others hate each other and never appear in public if

In the beginning, it is like walking on a narrow track
With olive roots over the ground to trip you up and branches
Of trees slapping you in the face, if you fall get up and
Continue to walk to be tired is not an...

Summer IslandThe summer Island
On the island in the fjord where we use to go bathing
there is now a bridge over, a parking lot and you have to pay.
There are toilets- no peeing behind a bush- and kiosk selling
soft drinks and cigarettes, asphalted lanes to walk...

The Effacious RoadI have been trying to pen this verse since Friday night
But the words couldn't jump clearly out of my mind

On top of this beast so gigantic

That I dearly loved
I could find a bond.
Of each other we were so fond

Things Can Never Be BetterThey talk so much but do little
Yes that’s it, for that is all they can do
When we used to walk distances on daily routine
It was enough to say things can be made better
Horses, bicycles and carts saved the bare-footed walks
But oh, it takes so much...
