The rain in Beirut

18. 02. 2012, Beirut, Lebanon
The rain in Beirut

Last night and today
Blessings of the Lord Bless-Ain (Rain)
To wash off the sin of the sinner; I
Walking on the shore; listen the palm leafs
And the waves that brings the chopped
Wings of the Algae

If I would have a silky voice of Fairuz
I would sing Beirut, Beirut too
And if I would have the Soul of Gibran
I would write “your Lebanon and my Lebanon

While I reckon loneliness of the Lighthouse
Well; I’m just a mere traveler; the descry of
Miracle of the Orient

For so many times I observe
The demanding eyes of the Host; as he wants
To realize how Beirut looks
From the eyes of the Guest

He is unable to do this; just as I’m able
Even to describe it
