Miracle Poem
Esraa- Miracle Poem
Theme: Miracle Poem
In darkness deep,
where death’s beasts stalk,
leaves fall silent,
one by one,
through Gaza’s ravaged land.
Destruction roars,
explosions never cease.
This is no game,
no staged release.
I am an almond blossom
waiting for spring’s return,
to bloom again,
wearing white and pink,
amidst the black ink’s burn.
With all my faith,
I stand.
If I remain
I am a miracle.
