about

Taghdim be khaharam: Kimia
To my sister.

For always being the sound of every plant.

lyrics

"I rooted from stream of the night
into the whirlpool of sun.
Without care I existed: I opened the window towards the rock.
I lived the depth of every movement.
My awareness did not open the night, did not bring me light.
I lived you, the furthest speed.
I let it go, so that the pouring of light, could slide the night on my actions.
my awake hours closed down: I was the sleep walker on the road of
watching.
And always there came somebody
and gave me a gift of fear
and always a hay walker stepped by me
and next to me dropped a wheat of secret.
Always there was me, and the big dark.
I stayed with the madness of the sun.
And from the travels around the sun
I have arrived filled with darkness of the light: I have become a longer
shadow. and I am standing like a shadow over the edge of light.
Night splits open, smile blooms, earth wakes up.
Morning rises from clay of the sky.
and the night branch of my thought will lean over the edge of time."

- Sohrab Sepehri
From the Book "Avar E Aftab" (Ruin of the Sun"
1340 Iranian year. (1961)
