Miracles Happen: Free Palestine!

 Pamelia Riviere

It’s astonishing to realize that
Nearly two years have slipped by
Since I embarked on the deeply emotional journey
Of documenting the heartbreaking events unfolding in Gaza!

Throughout this time,
A yearning for a Keffiyeh—
A cherished symbol of resilience and unity—
Has grown stronger within me!

The desire to drape it
Over my shoulders
As a poignant sign of solidarity
Has become almost palpable!

One day, as I strolled along the serene waterfront,
I caught sight of a Keffiyeh fluttering gracefully
In the gentle breeze,
As if it were reaching out to me, inviting me closer!

In an instant,
It became entangled on a large, weathered stone,
And I felt an overwhelming connection—
It was almost as if it were whispering!

"I’m here for you, Mom!"
I know your heart bears the weight of sorrow for your children in Gaza,
A sorrow that echoes in the hearts of many!

Wear this Keffiyeh;
Let it be a vibrant reminder to them
That your love and support will always be by their side,
Unwavering and steadfast through
Even the darkest of times!
 

Miracles happen as the Keffiyeh clings to me,

 Roaring across the world:
Stop genocide,
Free Palestine!
