Written under the spell of notes..

Notes, reflections of creativity, light for the lost ones, a pain killer for the broken-hearted. A window to see the outside, telling a story that's read differently by different people. Inspirational, free and universal. No need for a language for you to understand. all you need is your ears, imagination and taste.

She’s like drugs, she gets you high but with no down, unique like the birth of new colors out of red, blue and yellow. Just like architecture but with no buildings, shouting, crying and talking with words that charm you to forget about everything but she's hard for you to forget.

Diverse with many colors like aurora, MUSIC it's the word with nothing to describe. She may make you cry or jump for joy. she may turn up your spirit and she will let you see images which are really strange but familiar. She may get you to smell something you like or hate. You may see your dreams, your history, and your spirit naked. You may feel like it's summer in the middle of the winter, you may remember the nights you spent with no sleep, the chances you left behind, the choices you made in your life.

Time becomes powerless once you fall under the spell of her, a second can be an hour and everything is possible, give up and surrender for the magic and you'll see everything that your eyes couldn't see. It’s another world with no laws, the only condition is happiness, no gravity, no wind and no cloudy skies any more.. it's your own world to draw.

She steals your voice and brings it up with her own, move with her, feel her concurring your veins like poison. She’ll kill you to live a better life, possessed with her, doing anything she asks for, like the symbols of a code, she'll decode the side you haven't read of yourself, replying the messages you haven't sent, you'll shiver once you listen to the first whisper from her.

Floating on a wave in the sea of irresponsibility. No one in the whole world can tell you how to feel, or what to see. She may get you to sleep like a child with his lovely caring mother, and she may wake you up like the first crack on the walls of the night. speaking with the non-materialized side of you, she's like the eclipse because she reveals the truth around your heart.

Dancing is her son, she gave birth to him right after she was born, and the blessed fingers of her creators were the first to discover the magical effect of her. The keys of the piano were the most blessed objects on earth, as will as the strings of the guitar, violin and all the family.

You'll never get bored of her, no matter how many times you've listened to her, you'll always discover something you didn't taste before. she makes you realize the perfection built right inside of her, and nothing can take her away unless she ordered you.

If you lose her you'll go running, looking for her, like a hysterical being you'll be searching. If you didn't find her your soul will turn into an old wrinkled tree in the middle of an old farm in no where.

Once you find her after along time of searching, you'll meet her like your lost child. you'll hug her, and you'll have no control over your nerves.

One sense of unity unifies her with herself. Inner peace will grow up in your center, and your vision will be colored with an infinite number of colors. If you didn't know how to control her, she may push you over the edge of insanity. You’ll fall into pieces like shattered glass. the only way to get back together is melting it and shaping it again like clay in the hands of an old potter.

When all the sentences are locked up with no way out, the words will have the ability to describe her, she is no person, no thing, no nothing. she's not the notes on the papers of a symphony, she's not found in any place but the place you want her to be in. she's a sense of art, a star in the middle of the black sky may describe her..

Dedicated to the amazing Boston Children's Chorus.

A journey to the truth

Through the dark colors of the night a light just like the moon shined to blind me, I never thought I’d see sharper when I’m blind, my eyes are really doubting what they see, darkness turned into white, silence shouted with a voice calling the deep center of my soul, breathing hardly I looked back with a face of amaze, I saw an old man standing along the path of my sight, slowly getting closer, details started to appear, I was stunned and even drowned by the deep ocean in his eyes, I felt I’m drinking a drop of a faith fountain, his white hair was racing the endless end and his clothes made an impression I’ll never forget.

He started to speak, I didn’t know what language he was speaking but I understood everything, my ears were not who heard what he was saying, I was listening with my spirit and his words were written on the walls of my heart with an inerasable ink, he was telling his believes, I listened carefully, he said don’t do that and he told me why it’s forbidden he carried me the letters of a book with an infinite number of mysteries and he sit the values of perfection.

His speech contained all the miracles anyone can think of, age couldn’t leave any wrinkles on his font, he drawn the outlines of immortality for himself, and he had the power to bring peace to everyone’s mind.

He told me god is a singular controlling power, he also convinced me by saying that if there was more than one there would be a contradiction and in the end one of two orders will be done over the other which means the one with undone order is not a god.

He whispered to me the past and some of the future, he washed my doubt away like the thirst of a person who is drinking a glass of pure water, he erased my fear of the unknown and he linked me directly with the creator of the universe.

My consciousness was filled with priceless ideas, I felt it was a jar of diamonds and gold, he made me a very passionate, peaceful person, he told me not to kill a soul and not to cut a tree, he said people’s freedom is born with them, and he ordered me to meditate five times everyday, he spoke out all the wisdom, nothing was left to say.I was listening all the time I didn’t open my mouth at all, it was locked with an invisible lock, I was captured with all of his sentences, I didn’t forget any of them, but I couldn’t remember all of them at the same second because of the greatness of everyone of them, I broke the lock of my mouth and asked him three words: “Who are you?” and he answered with one: “Islam”…

May Tomorrow Be The Day - Written By Morad Elzagal (Gaza Song)

May tomorrow be the day (song)

Gaza hold on, the light is coming soon, just hold on

Good night, let the dark go away
Good night, don’t let tomorrow be the same
Life is so hard for the forgotten ones
Life is so hard with violence and guns
People dying, children crying, no one to hear
But it’s so clear


Chorus:
May tomorrow be the day
May tomorrow bring a brighter life
Hope is our blood
Hope is our ship out of this pain

There is hunger and loneliness
There is pain and darkness
But there is no time for despair
No there’s no time for despair
Our hearts with you because we do care
Our hearts with you, yes we do care


Chorus:
May tomorrow be the day
May tomorrow bring a brighter life
Hope is our blood
Hope is our ship out of this pain
Gaza hold on, the light is coming soon, Gaza hold on, the light is coming soon

Night is the darkest before dawn
Sun will shine again to move away
Every cloud in our stolen sky and every grey in our broken lives
Don’t let darkness take control
Just hold on, just hold on

Chorus[X2]
May tomorrow be the day
May tomorrow bring a brighter life
Hope is our blood
Hope is our ship out of this pain
May tomorrow be the day
May tomorrow bring a brighter life
Hope is our blood
Hope is our ship out of this pain

Bring equality to the scale of universe


This is another poster that I’ve designed by my self, me and My friend had the idea and I designed the poster, hope you like it, you can see a scale in the poster it’s actually the “scale of universe” as I called it, in the hands of the scale you can see four objects which are:

An apple (which symbolizes Food)

A pencil (which symbolizes Education)

A first aid box (which symbolizes medicine)

A coin (which symbolizes money)

And so I say bring equality to the scale of universe by sharing All of these objects through charity work all over the world.

Drugs are your own prison


This is a poster that I’ve designed by my self from the scratch, I had the idea, I took the picture and I designed the poster, hope you like it, anyway it shows a person who’s standing in some kind of a prison, as you can see the gate is opened but he’s so desperate and he can’t notice that it’s opened.
The gate symbolizes going to rehab and solving the problem that’s imprisoning him, and so I say to drugs addicts, the solution has always been in front of your eyes, to break free from this prison you’re in you have to get to rehab…
