Homeland

 Dreams  of  winds  on the dunes  

Marram grass whispering 

Ravens  dancing  on the Air 

An amphitheatre of sand and grass  


The river running down to the sea,   

the  mountains over the water 

Stillness  seizes  my soul

Quietness touches my mind 


A holy land,  

A Hajj denied us

Now the summer warmth is in the sun

Nights  draw  out  


Will our pilgrim feet  

Be set free?  will I walk again

On that precious  land?

Will healing return?
