My Childhood in Lebanon

Remembrance is moving
down the long memory, disturbing
the scattered autumn leaves, weaving
a warm blanket, that is lurking
waiting for the snow to let them die in peace.
Did those feet in ancient time
Walk over Lebanon's mountain's white?
Have they left a music to chime,
Where notes even from stone, never bite?
What happened, the land is sold, a fleece?
A child dream's robbed
A beautiful love is lost
A house's door forever locked
Young minds chilled to frost.
An Evil came, stole life without a sign of release.
Where are you ancient Treasures?
Where are you ancient prophets?
A land you loved without measure
Is dying!
