Poems and songs are written
To illuminate our shadows,
From Gaza and other prisons
Tales of endurance daily woven,
Where rights of humanity are violated
When darkness alters feeling,
With craft can open windows
Release all the doors that contain,
Allow the fire in hearts to be nourished
Hear the sparks of another tongue,
Feed the lonely, so their not forgotten
Allow feelings of love to be exchanged,
Under sky clouds of passing division
Allow thoughts to heal and mend,
Under the constant threads of unhappiness
let our words, soften the world's gloom.
