Tonight <br />Will journey <br />To the realm of words <br />In a strange dream. <br />The wind will murmur something. <br />An apple will fall, <br />Roll over the graceful earth <br />And traverse the distant home of night. <br />Illusions will cave in. <br />Eyes <br />Will see the sad vegetable mind. <br />Ivies will entwine to watch the grace of God. <br />Secrets will emerge. <br />The roots of piety will wither away. <br />The murmuring waters <br />Will give light <br />To the dark roads. <br />The mirror will understand with its heart. <br /> <br />Tonight <br />A friendly breeze <br />Will agitate roots of meanings. <br />Wonder will flap its wings. <br /> <br />Deep in the night, an insect <br />Will gnaw <br />At the green portion of solitude. <br />Morning will fall <br />Into the word of morning. <br /> <br />(Translated by Ismail Salami)<br /><br />Sohrab Sepehri<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/beyond-presence/
