A Poem Dedicated to The Inseparable Souls of The Heroes of Rojava from The Peshmergas of Kurdistan
Starlings of Imagination
Countless Starlings pair by pair,
They murmurate in the air
In unison they soar high
Way up into the deep sky
They fly they dance they sing songs
They swerve and curve in throngs
They flow, expand, they stretch
Shape like arrow with a fletch
This amazing swarms of birds
Can’t be described by the words
Like an arrow in flight
They disappear from the sight
Like a giant flying tent
They soar, they dove then they went!
They now in murmuration
Fly far in imagination!
Like the souls of human kind
They live in the skies of mind
Eternal souls of all beings
Ubiquitous and without wings
They are fluid they are buoyed
They are spirits in the void
With their invisible presence en masse
They are timelessly with us
Now and then when I look above
To the starlings like a dove
I see memories of each soul
Invisibly murmurating in whole
They resonate with my thoughts
Like waves in space from hotspots
Now I know when my soul flies
I will join them in the skies
In that imaginary realm
I will become one of them
Then you become one of us
When you depart, and you pass
Join the dance of Elation
The magic of creation
Be it in Afrin, or In Kobani
They ask, gyanekim, Kurdi Zahani?
O’ birds of imagination, Starlings in murmuration
Ponderers of creations! the souls of all the nations!
Resonance of creation
Soul-Mates in the formation
Free the bird of your soul
Join the rest and become whole
