If you are coming to me, <br />I am beyond Oblivion. <br />Beyond Oblivion is a place <br />Where dandelions run into the veins of air, <br />Bringing news of a faraway blooming bush. <br />The sands bear the footprints of delicate horsemen <br />Mounting the hilltop of poppies. <br />Beyond Oblivion, the umbrella of desire is open. <br />As soon as thirst blows onto the root of a leaf <br />Rain sings songs of freshness. <br />One is lonely here. <br />Where an elm's shadow streams into eternity. <br /> <br />If you are coming to me <br />Approach gently, softly lest you crack <br />The fragile china of my solitude! <br /> <br />(Translated by Ismail Salami)<br /><br />Sohrab Sepehri<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oasis-in-a-moment/
