Just few moment - Jalal
Share
Just a safe place where the soul can rest easy.
Just for a few moments.
Just a small space where we can play with a kite and where my grandson’s feet can step.
Just for a few moments.
And a breeze carrying our simple dreams to that cloud.
Perhaps it will rain somewhere and water a seed waiting for a drop of water,
and its roots will split those rocks,
and our dreams will grow with it and create a tree,
its leaves justice and peace.
Just a few moments.
A pure, gentle and warm world.
A safe space for my little one,
to hear his soft laughter and reset the beat of my heart to the rhythm of life.
