I looked into her eyes
Smiled
And I said
We are free
Now
My blood ran cold
Through my neck
And into my head
The air swelled
In my throat
Distant
So sweet
A fleeting instant
Of beauty

i love this poem! love rawan’s voice, her talent is pure genius.
btw, this amazing photo (and description) was sent to me by her brother Ahmed just a few days ago. it’s very much a coincidence how the two came together in this draft. i had seen the photo last summer and fell in love with it and after months it finally arrived in my inbox. i thought of it within reading rawan’s poem, and voila!
so much talent in one family.
always nice to see rawan put pen on paper…
Such incredible beauty…
Thank you so much, Rawan, Ahmed and Annie.
Of course you enjoyed your time together. Have happy times today and all of your tomorrows, too.
