Your eyes are a thorn in my heart;

It stings me,yet I adore it

and protect it from the wind.

I thrust it deeper and deeper

beyond darkness and pain,

so that wound kindles the light of lamps

and makes from my present days a future for her

which is dearer for me than my soul.

………….

Yesterday,

I saw you on the mountains 

with thorny paints,

a shepherd without sheep,

harried amidst the ruins.

You were a garden for me,

I ,who have been turned into a stranger.

………….

I saw you in rays of tears and wounds,

you , a lung in my chest,

you , the voice of my lips,

you , the water and fire for me.

…………..

I saw you in every drop of the sea

and in every grain of sand,

beautiful as the earth,

beautiful as children

and beautiful as jasmine.
