Nothing Makes It Easier

English Pieces

Nothing makes it easier

to distract the pain

from your eyes

except knowing

where a truth resides



Nothing makes it easier

for your heart

to breathe life

except living

and riding a horse that runs

from tears to laughs

from loss to gain



Nothing makes it easier for me

to say "I miss you"

except telling me the same

with no words



Nothing makes it easier for people

to stop the shedding of sighs

except a country that hugs them

with love...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

On February 14th, 2005, a disaster happened in a small country called Lebanon. Mr. Rafik Hariri, the ex-Prime Minister and the man who was responsible for the country's recovery, was assassinated. February 14th is also marked for Valentine's Day. When a person is already struggling with his own losses and gets surprised with a disaster like that, every feeling is triggered endlessly in all directions. Your personal thoughts become a property to everything around you, and your country awakes you to an inherent truth, that it is the most precious thing inside.

This was very deep. It touched my heart and made me think about this country I live in. We take for granted that we have so much freedom.
