Silence Of The Moon

By Adibeh Abdo-Attia

A collection of poems translated from the Arabic and Syriac languages such as:
Your whispers enthral me,
As I chant psalms upon your altar
In the quietness of the night
And the emergence of the dawn
In my dreams and awaking hours
How can I not be captivated by your love,
And you who taught me
Love and devotion!
