Number One on my Bucket List My promised dream destination After seeing photographs of The inspirational Blue
The spiritual Blue The calming Blue The cleansing Blue The enrobing Blue Surrounding my soul
Brought by the Jews in 1492 The beginning of the diaspora Centuries ago Long gone to The Promised Land But their spirit lingers In the Blue of The Mellah
So much choice in The Blue Riads Dars Hotels In the Medina or its surrounds
Randomly I choose a Dar Blue and artistic It beckons in cyberspace The photographs attract me To click the button
My Dar is in The Mellah Synchronicity in Cyberspace
The enticing Blue Envelopes my soul Not my hidden Sephardic roots But my quest for knowledge My hidden identity
The Blue awakens me Silently lures me Into the Rif mountains Into the pure fresh air Into peace Far away from Islamophobia Far away from terrorism
The Iman wails Five times daily The call for prayer
