...where i finally find that lost poem and discover Fadwa Tuqan
*I was to the world a wandering question.
In the closed unknown,
its answer was hiding.
You were for me a new ascending light,
raised from the darkness of the unknown
by destiny.
The stars circled with this light,
they circled twice,
until its unique radiance reached me.
Darkness retreated
in two convulsions.
I found in my hand
my lost answer.
oh you, oh you, so distant and so close,
don't speak of fading;
your spirit burns too fiercely.
The universe is mine and yours -
ours.. two poets,
in spite of immense distance,
have been joined by existence.
