slowly gilds <br />tenderly warms <br />walks along river <br />follows smiling grass <br /> <br />sky all blue <br />sun send holy rays <br />sweetened air play silken hair <br />veils of love's fine lace embrace <br /> <br />like a lively-playing butterfly <br />love comes and shines <br />she know for sure that <br />she is welcome here <br /> <br />resounding beauty <br />to your heart, your soul <br />O dear love, listen carefully <br />to naiads who sing love songs <br /> <br />of daily happiness <br />just now caressed <br />and soothed <br />her dream <br /> <br />lulled charming memories <br />of an unknown mystical girl <br />who softly sings and dancings <br />swayed in a young poet's rhymes <br /> <br />it's this, a reverie? <br />that still renews <br />without release <br />without delay <br /> <br />(dedicated to a great pianist, Yuja Wang)<br /><br />Ahmad Shiddiqi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shine-of-love/
