I hope 2024 will become a better year than 2023.  If you use this site still, please consider voting for HM. Freyashawk in the Beauty Contest.  I was known once as a guide writer by the name if Freyashawk.  I do not advertise ever, but some people may still find this site useful.  The site is available to every one.  If HM.

Today is the 5th of January.  It is the Anniversary of my Mother's death.  There have been far too many deaths and far too much heartbreak in the past three months.  I am sharing a poem by the extraordinary Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish entitled 'Ummi' ('Mother').  Almost every one knows the depth of the love of a child for a mother and that of a mother for her child.  I am offering this very simply for all those who understand the pain of loss.

'Ummi'

'I long for my mother's bread,

My mother's coffee,

And my mother's touch.

And childhood grows inside me

Day upon breast of day,

And I love my life because

If I died

I would feel shame for my mother's tears.

Take me, if one day I should return,

As a shawl for your eyelashes,

And cover my bones with grass,

Baptised in the purity of your footsteps,

And fasten my bonds

With a lock of hair,

With a thread that trails in the train of your gown.

I could become a god,

A god I would be

If I could but touch the depth of your heart.

Put me, if I return

As fuel in your cooking stove,

As a clothesline on your rooftop,

For I have lost resolve,

Without your daily prayer.

I have grown old and weak.

Give me back the stars of childhood

That I may join the young birds

On the route of return 

To your nest that awaits me.'

'Ummi' by Mahmoud Darwish)
