Cedar breath from Lebanon
Note: Re-edit of “Old fragrance from the dead”
Fragrance wafting hot,
Myrrh, spices, thyme
Old fragrance travelled for years
Over oceans and deserts
Spreading tales and myths
Reminiscing stories of old countries and empires;
Lights of a star reaching mankind
Star long time dead.
Dead star still sending the message to common people:
“I live; I live in your eyes, in your dreams, in your hopes.
I have disintegrated,
But the light recreated, and reborn of Lebanon by other stars is on.
Old fragrance from the dead
Civilization, culture, and man
Breathes of cedars in Lebanon.
Flaming in the sun
Confined in closets.
Old fragrance from the dead
To mankind living in a shrinking present
A past unwanted
A future disconnected and uncertain.
Old fragrance from the dead
Death still sending messages
Of centuries ago,
Olfactif messages
Of a dying nature
Cedar breath from Lebanon.
