THE SPIRITUAL POWER

When you're alone with no fellow around

Looking for a partner to soothe the sorrow

You keep suffering from when you're let down

You can walk in the dark and talk to a star

It will let the reassurance inside you grow

By communicating its companionship with a glimpse

Telling that you are a piece in a puzzle named universe

Tied together with a spiritual strength

When you're lost and thirsty in the hot dry desert

You feel the fresh breeze whispering with insistence

That many plants and flowers may grow in a desert

Worshiping to help a bird feed and heat a nestling

Sacrificing their lives to disown materialist strength

And make the world believe in the spiritual strength

That the Almighty created the creatures to compromise

To bring together disoriented pieces in the puzzled universe.

Houda Boukassoula

A DISPASSIONATE DREAM

I have a dream

Not really my dream

A dispassionate dream

Unlike personal dreams

It flies without feathers

Looking for what’s better

Trying to establish a reality

Full of respect and dignity

Where happiness and pride

Could be shared worldwide

Eagerly looking for a world

Where justice has the supreme word

Where there’s no place for racism

Nor for hatred or terrorism

Where a bird and a fly

Share with jets the same sky.

Houda Boukassoula

HAPPINESS

Happiness oh happiness!

When you are in my existence

Heart and soul are in lightness

I will clutch you though you're rare

And you seem in my world nowhere

Or I will reach you in your world over there

Now I know what I need as a fare

Of the trip from my world to go there

I just need to consider what I do with care

Lest I harm any creature here or there

I will leave all that hinders me to go there

The race for lust and wealth with selfishness

That leads to hatred conflicts and wickedness

As I know peace and harmony make your sphere

When I'll reach you as a sun I'll shine to share

Your warmth on every human soul in distress.
