Poetry
To know my mystery 
Read the lines of victory
On my face is written history
Soft Veil. 2025
Between the ocean of words
And the quiet sound of emptiness,
Lies a horizon made of thoughts 
A place of truth and restlessness.

Which story do I choose to tell,
When the timeline that I trace
Has neither beginning nor an end,
Just a circle in its place?

It is timeless… fearless…
Yet somehow
It lives here, it lives in now…
Is it real, this thing I feel?
Or a dream, a shadowed scene?

How can a memory pull me back and forth,
To doors my hands were never meant to touch?
What power does it hold?
A riddle no mind could solve as such?
How can I stand in two worlds at once,
Belonging too little, yet somehow too much?

In one, a woman
Rising like a flower in the sun.
In the other, a broken home
Where a girl’s pain has long begun.

Will love ever crack the code,
And bring both halves back into me?
Will my past stay only a story,
A chapter kept where it should be?

Will I one day tell?
A tender, gentle tale
Of rising strong again,
And stitching grace to sail
With a scattered heart
In a soft white veil!?
Unheard Voices. 2025
Written words, silenced stories…
Unspoken truths ride winds of worries.
I speak for voices small and crying,
For dreams once bright… now slowly dying.

We had a life of joy and light,
Our laughter danced through the night.
The streets were filled with melody complete,
Where every soul and heart would meet.

Then darkness came, a shadowed refrain,
Little eyes wept… too young for pain.
A rose dress burned, turned red in fire,
The streets became a lost empire.

Please help me… calm this fire inside,
My flesh has burned, my soul has died.
The air now screams with fear and cries,
And hunger echoes through the eyes

My stomach roars like bombs that fall,
For just a crumb, a life… that’s all.
What kind of life when death’s so near,
And every breath is born of fear?

I want to tell you of my pain,
Of dreams destroyed and hopes in chains.
Of eyes I fear I’ll see no more,
Of homes erased, of grief and war.

They stole my youth, my childhood’s song,
And left me where I don’t belong.
Now silence grows where fear once bled,
And emptiness walks where I was led.

I once dreamed to heal, to wear the white,
To be a doctor… a child of light.
To make my dear uncle proud someday,
But he was taken far away.
Will he still see me from the sky,
Or even that dream will also die?

Now all I wish… not wealth or fame…
Is to survive this war’s cruel flame,
And walk once more my broken street,
Even if only stones I meet.

For dying while living is worse than grave,
Yet memories of peace are all that I save.
I’ll sleep tonight with tears unshed,

I am a child of Gaza’s land,
Born of dust, yet I still stand.
My heart may break, my tears may fall,
But hope still whispers through it all.
If you hear me, please understand,
My voice is trembling in your hand.
Be my echo, let me be known,
For I am the voice that lost its own.
Echoes of Breeze, 2025.
The whispers of trees
tell me tales of the breeze,
Carrying echoes of footsteps through
forests and seas.
My eyes reach for infinity,
vast and unknown,
While my soul longs
to rise and return to the Throne.

Oh Lord,

How can my heart dance to
a melody my ears can barely hear?
Yet silence is absent in the life we held dear.

Oh Lord,

Do I sin as I plead
to go back once again?

To the home

Where my bones were like roots in the glen.
Where my skin shaped as leaves
in the sun’s gentle beams.
And my eyes were like stars
lighting rivers and streams.
Where my voice joined the birds
in their chorus above.
And my tongue tasted freedom,
the gift of Your love.
Where the scent of the river
would call out to me,
Back to the place
where my spirit was once free.

Back to you, back to me..



صدى النسيم، 2025


همسات الشجر تحدثني عن نسيم الرياح

تحمل اصوات خطى مثل صدى في الفساح

عينايا تبلغ افقا في غموض وحنين

وروحي ترتقي شوقا لموعد يقين


يا رب


كيف يرقص قلبي على لحن يهيم؟

والصمت غاب عن دار كان فيها النعيم؟


يا رب


هل اخطئ ان سألت الرجوع؟

للوطن الذي فيه كانت عظامي جذوع؟


وفي جلدي ازهرت اوراق فصل الحياة

وعيناي كانت نجوما تضيء السماء بصفاة

وصوتي مع الطير يرتفع بلحن الحروف

ولساني يذوق الحرية طعما كالكهوف

وعطر النهر يدعوني بلفظ النداء

يعيدني لذاتي.. يردني للسماء


يعيدني ألك.. يردني الي

Spirits of the Dawn, 2025.

We rise.. not with wings,
but with the quiet hope of those
who have touched the fire and lived.

The earth behind us
cracked our bones,
choked our voices
with its noise and hunger.
But forward, forward..
into the light that does not burn,
only blesses.

The sun calls softly..
not to blind, but to awaken.
Its warmth is memory,
not of who we were,
but of who we are becoming.

Each ray a spirit,
each breeze a hymn,
each step a surrender
to something greater than flesh.

We do not run
We ascend.
Not to escape death,
but to meet it with open hands,
knowing that what dies
Will only tell a story of the warriors.
Shadows of the Dusk, 2025.

We walked in silence,
where the shadows hush the sky,
bare feet pressed in footsteps
Left by those who came before
the elders, tired and true,
who bore their burdens like fading stars.

Moonlight wept across the path,
a silver whisper on our back,
guiding us through thorn and ash,
through fields of memories,
we could not name.
Each step a prayer,
each breath a farewell.

Behind us, echoes of pain..
not ours alone,
but the weight of blood and bone,
of generations folded into our spine.

Still...

we walked.
Not to find peace,
but to leave behind the noise
that never truly belonged to us.
Ancestors, 2024.
You warned us,
How Life has no mercy on us.
You died in ruts,
in the hope of rebirth for us.

Excuses,
Shame came upon us.
Cruelty’s still killing us.

Eyes are crying
Flowers are dying
Blood is not drying

Only sorrow remain
In the shape of pain

Call to
Who, in love, has a trust
Fight for the rest of us.

So..

We will break the chain
Freedom, we will gain
Our right, we will reclaim!


For Gaza.
Coloring the Pain, 2023.

They ask you to play,
but they don't understand
what happened that day.

Your world crashed like sand
your colors turned to gray.

Oh, dear child,

We all should
detach that chain.

Carry your sorrow
with much care.

Raise the brush to
color your pain.


2017, Hala Ali



Who am I?



photo: the remains of our house and street in Yarmouk Camp, Syria
Here, in a remote place
Where the sound is inaudible
My footsteps harmonize with the river path
The river that is reviving the life to reveal a new plan {way}

who are you? Says the Voice of the unknown
My heartbeat accelerates with the search for the questioner
There is no one!!
Lift up my heart to complete my avenue

who are you ?? he said again... what is your name ??

My name!! My name is a name of four letters built from my family's love
I am The H in Horizon that travels to search for the beginning and the ending
Hamlet battling for Humanity using the Handle of sincerity
I am the A in the Alphabet and the Autograph that is woven on the forgotten autumn leaves
the Antiques of hope matrix on store shelves
I am a Lecturer in existence for students seeking the secret of survival
I am the Armour.

Where are you from?
Another arrow hits me again
My tongue gives the answer without my will

I am from nowhere from everywhere from here and there
I am from Palestine from the country of religions and Non-religious
From the country which is engraved deep in my soul
I am from Jerusalem and the spirit of holiness
From the country of steadfastness
I am the Syrian jasmine
I am from the old alley of Damascus from the walls of the mosque and church
I am from two countries where people are tired of war and life
From two peoples persistence in the face of the Destiny, where joy is blended with sorrow
I'm from here
from now!!

Where are you now then? The sound comes from far fades with the wind
I lookup
where am I????? I run, I am out of breath, I sweat
Darkness, a single light, fixing my steps to him

I am there
I Know this place
I'm in the train of memories
He, she, and they all of them are here
And only one empty chair.

The journey begins
The waterfall of memories collapses
The train stops for a moment
I gather my strength to see which station has been chosen
I look from the pain portal
I am in the time station between childhood and youth
I am with my brothers, running behind our laughter,
We paint our hopes
We play with the ball of our fate
He passed it to me
Passed it far past me
They disappeared

Fear overcame my heart
I'm in my room alone hearing only my breath
Two years and the grief becomes my friend
Tears watering my pillow
Time has no meaning, the pain won’t end, tomorrow won’t come
I walk and walk, the road is limitless
Until the day of war arrives
A war that only the weak know
It wounds only the innocent
In each breath the walls shake from danger, the danger of losing, losing..

I carry my eyes away from the window, asking my heart to calm down
My journey won’t end
I will be what will become
I will be the messenger of the unknown
I will be the title and the tenor
I will inform of the oppressor and the oppressed
Of the murderer and the murdered, the ruler and the ruled
I will be a free gazelle with passion wings
I will jump away from the border and cross all the oceans
Until there are no more boundaries
To discover who am I...

His laughter brings me back from the self.
Enough, enough I can’t answer your inquiries anymore
When will the torrent of questions stop?
When will you stop?

Says
Until the infinity
Util nothing remains from your sins in the universe
Until your parts are scattered around the ground self.
But Why this curiosity about who I am?
Tell me who are you?
Says:

I am behind you beside you and around you
I am your shadow and your light
I am your past and your future
I am your joy and your sadness
I am who you are and who you will be
I am you!
