Holy Land

Israel waited for me,

welcomed me with open, loving arms

hugging, praying, kissing, and dancing with me,

every time I sojourned to The Holy Land.

Israel is my home

away from home.

Jerusalem is my safe spot

the silent cave I’ve always lounged in.

Kibbutzim and kfarim

remote, natural, sacred, and novel

areas that are rich in plantation,

and homes that are warm with kindness,

gratitude, and togetherness.

Hummus and falafel

My favourite, homemade savoury dishes

that I’ve always devoured and ingested

like a famished woodpecker

in The Holy Land.
