Genevieve Cora Fraser: Arabic Awakening
Arabic Awakening
By Genevieve Cora Fraser
In a dream
Like state
As dawn
awoke
Inside me
Softly enveloped
My soul
Arabic
murmured
Deep and low
Controlled
My being
I
listened
Absorbed
The sound
Like
music
Rhythmic
Tones breathed
Into me a
newness
Dawning
Awakening
In Arabic
sensations
Murmured
Somewhere
Inside me
Drew me
up
Into consciousness
Born
Unknowing
Untutored
Waiting
To learn
A
tongue
Thrust
Into my being
Germinating
The
language
Of love
Into life
