QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Answer to Shahin


You asked me, why?
I replied!
because you have never felt my heart beat under your hand
because you have never seen your smile reflected in my eyes.
You asked me, when?
I replied!
When the bird nests in the orchard of my soul
When the flower delivers its fruit in the autumn of the year.
You asked me, where?
I replied!
Where the rainbow starts its journey upwards
Where the sea stands still and memorises the names written in the sands.
You asked me, how?
I replied!
With the help of God/Allah or any other name you give Him/Her
With honour and passion in my heart and the desire to give you all I have.

Homage to a great Arab Poet.


Ho(m)mage to the Arab poet
Mohammed Al-Maghut
1936-2006
He looked like a Connemara sheep farmer,
he wrote like a Celtic warrior,
He looked like a fisherman of the lakes and seas,
he wrote like the wave on the beach.
Words were his wealth, his home, his wife,
his children, his love life and his food.
Who are we to ask, why?
he is the one who needs to question our answer.
Fools who build on sand
make mountains of gold which
will one day fall and crush us all.
real wealth is in the heart, in the word, in the soul.
