Persepolis, Iran

6.

 

Earth finds fire

and burns to ash.

Ash travels with wind

into water

and flows on earth.

 

 

7.

 

I smell the roses but I can�t see.

The rain is falling but I can�t feel.

Rainbow is in the sky

waiting for my eyes to open.

The dream is near 

I am far.

 

 

8.

 

Like rain

like a rose

like smile of a child

in her eyes

was sorrow

was passion

was care.

My eyes were wide

but I did not see.

 

 

9.

 

Pains are bleeding.

In larynx scream sinks

and eyes have no more rain.

Hands are dirty

and heads are hard.

only love can defrost hearts.

 

  

10.

 

On the other side of the wall

there are wonderful things

but insights are short to see.
