Poetry: Ashraf AboArafe<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She is\u2026<\/span>
\nnot a woman passing through life,<\/span>
\nbut a lifetime embodied in a woman,<\/span>
\na meaning that took form<\/span>
\nuntil it became a face,<\/span>
\na name,<\/span>
\na pulse that cannot be denied.<\/span><\/p>\n

She is the one who, when she arrives,<\/span>
\ntime halts in reverence,<\/span>
\nand when she smiles,<\/span>
\ntime rearranges its heartbeats<\/span>
\nto the rhythm of her own,<\/span>
\nas if asking her permission<\/span>
\nto keep moving.<\/span><\/p>\n

In her eyes,<\/span>
\nchaos finds rest,<\/span>
\nanxiety learns the meaning of serenity,<\/span>
\nand questions grow shy<\/span>
\nbefore the abundance of answers.<\/span>
\nAs if God<\/span>
\ncondensed the wisdom of Eve<\/span>
\ninto a single glance<\/span>
\nand silenced the world with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

My ambassador of love\u2026<\/span>
\nShe carried no passport,<\/span>
\nyet she carried my heart<\/span>
\nfrom the shores of bewilderment<\/span>
\nto the harbors of certainty,<\/span>
\nand taught me that arrival<\/span>
\nis not a step,<\/span>
\nbut a companionship.<\/span><\/p>\n

She is womanhood at its fullness:<\/span>
\nmodesty that does not weaken,<\/span>
\nstrength that does not harden,<\/span>
\nwisdom that does not pretend,<\/span>
\nand beauty that does not shout,<\/span>
\nbut simply appears\u2026<\/span>
\nand everything else falls silent.<\/span><\/p>\n

When she walks,<\/span>
\nmeanings bow<\/span>
\nto clear her path,<\/span>
\nand when she speaks,<\/span>
\nnoise resigns<\/span>
\nin quiet shame.<\/span><\/p>\n

She is the companion of the journey,<\/span>
\nnot the one who holds the hand alone,<\/span>
\nbut the one who holds life itself<\/span>
\nso it does not fall,<\/span>
\nand gently steadies the soul<\/span>
\nwhen it grows weary of being strong.<\/span><\/p>\n

I loved her<\/span>
\nbecause she was not a promise,<\/span>
\nbut a loyalty that preceded the question,<\/span>
\nand because when she came,<\/span>
\nshe did not change me,<\/span>
\nbut returned me to myself:<\/span>
\ntruer,<\/span>
\ncalmer,<\/span>
\nand more grateful<\/span>
\nto the time<\/span>
\nthat turned and turned\u2026<\/span>
\nonly to stop at her.<\/span><\/p>\n

O my ambassador of love,<\/span>
\nO wheel of my days,<\/span>
\nturn as you wish\u2026<\/span>
\nfor I have chosen<\/span>
\nto arrive with you,<\/span>
\nneither before you<\/span>
\nnor after you.<\/span><\/p>\n

And so,
\nI no longer search for the road,
\nas long as Eve
\nhas become my compass.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
