Your Virgin Words Poem by Naji Almurisi

When words are being crucified
On the lines of old narrations
Your virgin words oh, Mariam,
Remaining in hearts
Pulsating in arteries of existence
As white star
As white laugh
As white candle
The color of yesterday
In your soul and your white letter
Your virgin words,
O, Mariam,
Awakened all wounds
In my blind heart
And touched all feelings
In my pregnant eyes with tears
When I read that message
The message of silence
And the sad fields
About The equality of mankind
My heart was about to die of pain
All birds
All mountains
And the rivers
And voices of palms
Even the roar of wind
And me and the night
And the bells of churches
Respecting mankind
O, Mariam these my deaf words,
Maybe not similar to your virgin words
But my heart and my soul
Are similar to you
In the love
In dream
In hopes
I will stay playing my weeping tune,
On the catgut of grief
Till seeing the equality light is shining
On all mankind...
