The sun will rise and we will try again
The sun will rise, though skies are grey / Amid the cries, we find our way.
- Gaza Strip

The sun will rise, though skies are grey / Amid the cries, we find our way.

On the fronds of a fruitful palm tree, I used to dance with my beloved / after we were brought together by the coincidence of spring.

My garden, that once pulsed with life, was reduced to a desert of ash. But it will grow again.

The whispering walnut calls / begs me to breathe / to stop crying. / To return.

In Octobers, / the summer said farewell. / A shivering cold stood at the door.

Stuck in a grim reality, she retreats to a dream state with no horrors, only nature’s tapestry and jazz.

Why should a story about flowers be this sad?

Faith and imagination are the winged creatures that keep hope alive in these dark times.

A brief experience of life with freedom and without siege contrasts sharply with the existential struggle of living displaced in a tent.

In a corner of our rented third-story house / Clay stuck to straw / A home for a future family

In the midst of hardship, a young Gazan looks to the stars to find beauty.
