Feel Free
— POEM : Souad Zakarani
(Translated from Arabic)
Like the bird of your soul,
Locked in the cage of everyday life,
Behind the bars of coercion.
From the depths rises into your brain,
How can it sing again?
Who will free it?
Who‘ll open the bars?
New things urge you to try,
And,find the way to freedom,
And, fly, fly, fly…
So, you want to explore other dimensions,
In unknown circles,
Far away from the grey life,
And, prove yourself.
In the darkness of the night,
In an unguarded moment,
The bird could escape.
Show what is unexplored,
Growing and stirring within you,
Hidden for far too long,
Cherished deep within.
Release it like a bird,
That flies light as a feather in the sky,
So that your suppressed desire,
May finally find its freedom.
….
