The Alchemy of Struggle

for Anas Maloul

searching in the blood of martyrs for the light to free the land,
searching in the sky for the soil in our blood,
searching for the meaning of the blood in our soil,
searching for the meaning of the soil in our blood,
struggling for the light in our blood,
struggling for the light in our land,
searching in the sky for the earthblood of tomorrow,

in light, blood was born in the soil,
in light, soil will be born in the blood,
in blood, there is light to free the land,
in land there is blood that lights the darkness of our undefeated despair --

this is our impossible alchemy.
sky
and soil
and blood
together:
from infinite suffering,
invincible joy.
