My homeland
In the morning, while war torn buildings with a lot of gun-holes and the statue of the assassinated president Mr. Hariri were seen just in front of my hotel, when I looked above, clouds were forming a shape like a phoenix that symbolized the empowered breath emerging from the land of Lebanon. After overcoming all the grievances in the past it was heading towards the future. My first concert was reported in several newspapers. One article highly praised the music of Mr. Idaki Shin, saying that its writer had never heard anything similar to it and now he could never forget it. Another compared my poem to a famous Iranian poet who died young and was still very popular especially among young people.
In the evening we held our concert in Tyre, the homeland of my soul. Actually since yesterday night, my back started suffering. I was feeling massive negative energies so I knew that only Mr. Idaki Shin could help me get over them. And he concentrated on my sufferings, and he said they were enormous, and even he would take several days to overcome them. At the opening of the concert I saw among the spectators the Mayor of Tyre, I waved my hand and spontaneously he jumped on to the stage, embraced me and expressed repeatedly his joy and gratitude. We shed tears together. From the very first note, the sound of the piano played by Mr. Idaki Shin touched everybody’s heart and expressed the magnitude of grievances from the loss of numerous precious lives and both physical and mental damage to those who survived during the bombings by the Israeli army. The concert was really dramatic and everybody was enormously moved. I concentrated on attuning myself to the world three stages before the Big Bang wishing that the Mayor and everybody in Tyre would connect themselves to this newly manifested divine world. And when I felt the sound of the piano had fully expressed it, every spectator applauded loudly and I found myself clapping my hands without consciousness. When I read the last poem, it was about my heart for Tyre as my home. Everybody shed tears again and the concert ended marvelously. The applause has never stopped.
Mr. Idaki Shin said that something enormous was changed by tonight’s concert. The Mayor invited all of us to dinner and he started to call me the king of Tyre while he used before to call me a princess. He also told us that he had received a call from the president of the parliament, Mr. Berri, asking him to make sure to invite us to next year’s Tyre festival. I realized again that Tyre remains always a very special place in my life and it is indeed my home.
