Poet #1: DOAA
ANSWERS The most beautiful thing I carry with me? Flowers, butterflies, birds. What I remember? Except for the colors of the skies in my country. What I know? That there is no despair after a unique experience. What I forget? The real colors of my country’s earth. What I have left behind me? Everything that deserves to be forgotten and the buildings. What I learned yesterday? That the greatest obstacle is building a bridge of hope over a river of despair. Where am I going tomorrow? To a green meadow filled with spring flowers and butterflies. |

Poet #2: SENAA
ANSWERS The most beautiful thing I carry with me? My eyes that see the far away sun and the smell of jasmine flowers. What I remember? Those gentle words and I sail with them even if it was a lie. What I know? What I know of meaning even if I have pain it's my body paddling in the ocean the desire for water will allow me to survive. What I forget? I forget the stories of love leaving these stories has spoiled my life and made it like a legend like an imagined state, unbelievable. What I have left behind me? These papers that I have written since my childhoodWhat I have left behind me? These papers that I have written since my childhood I have left my French perfumes and I jumped like a squirrel, an African squirrel and didn't leave even one scratch behind me. What I learned yesterday? I learned that life is like a drain of sadness in our depths growing like a vineyard and around it are green spaces we die and this hope will bloom like flowers. Where am I going tomorrow? I am going to my grave nobody knows what’s inside of it except the people who lived there. | |

Sunrise at Za'atari with Walaa:
Video Translation:
Do you need anything more beautiful than this view? The sunset in the town of Za’atari. The sun sets and everything else sets down with it – until we come to a new story. A new day that shines with its stars and planets and its spectacular sun…
The sun rises and everything rises with it so we could start with a new day, with a new life and new dreams. As the sun rises it calls to the whole world to get up and to each individual to go to work.
But, have you ever wondered what’s behind the sun?
