A Butterfly Dream

By: Dr. Eiman Abbas El-Nour

How long can love last ?
How strong can a fatigued heart beat?
The love that feeds on the past
The heart that exists on memories

I try to paint a butterfly
Or write a joyful verse
Or make baobab juice
To have with my friends
I take a deep sigh
And close my eyes
I know I am all alone

We calm our souls
With visions of home
Sing silent songs
Share wordless talks
And pray for the dream to last
Till tomorrow
