The Emptiness of Loneliness ( خالی تنهایی )



 

A leaf that sprouted on the bare arms of the purple tree  

Was not alone  

It found a companion in a blossom  

That with the white wings of a bird  

Played the game of love  


The flowing soul of the river  

Was never alone  

It slipped over the patterned slopes of the valley  

To soothe the restless body  

With the thirst of the plains  


Even the raindrop that fell to the earth  

Was not alone  

It had roots in a cloud  

That had nestled deep  

Within the gaze of your eyes  


But the emptiness of the house  

Brings a lump to the throat  

And the image of your presence  

Is painted only  

On the canvas of imagination
