The Presence of Man ( حضور انسان )



 

The Earth  

A wandering planet  

Unaware of the moon  

Unaware of the sun  

Unaware of the trees  

Clinging to the rocky spine of the mountain  

Unaware of the birds  

Nesting on the branches

And unaware of the heavy raindrops  

That kissed the bare body of the forest


It was with the presence of man  

In the wandering orbit of the Earth  

That the canary sang of love  

The feverish lips of the red rose  

Quivered with shame  

The night  

Embraced the meaning of restlessness  

And the stars  

Winking  

Slipped into the world of dreams


It was with the presence of man  

Only then  

That the sky  

Witnessed the drunkenness of gods  

The breeze  

Became a messenger dove  

Flying to distant lands  

The green plain  

With the melody of the wind  

Danced gracefully  

And the pregnant seed of wheat  

Emerged swiftly  

From the embrace of the soil


It was with the presence of man  

Only then  

That spring  

Spoke of the colors of life  

Autumn  

Donned the vibrant cloak of leaves  

And the cold of winter  

Became the reflection of a heart  

In its old age  

Wounded  

In its final days


On this wandering Earth  

Undoubtedly  

It was your presence  

Only  

That gave life to the rivers, the trees, and the rain  

In my stories  

And marked my restless heart  

With a glance


It was only with your presence
