سأكون يوماً ما أريد

أنتِ لي . . أنتِ حزني وأنتِ الفرح
أنتِ جرحي وقوس قزح
أنتِ قيدي وحرِّيتي
أنت طيني وأسطورتي
أنتِ لي . . أنتِ لي . . بجراحكْ
كل جرح حديقهْ ! .
أنت لي .. أنت لي .. بنواحك
كل صوت حقيقهْ .
أنت شمسي التي تنطفئ
أنت ليلي الذي يشتعل
أنتِ موتي , وأنت حياتي

فكيف يسجن البحر في أحرف ثلاثة
ثانيها طافح بالملح؟ كيف تتسع الحروف لك هذه
الكلمات؟ وكيف تتسع الكلمات لاحتضان العالم
