Bashir Sakhawarz, Afghan poet |
Through the thickness of distance, Through the walls of mountains, Through the depth of oceans, Last night I touched you I touched your pain They became mine. There is no meaning in children smile Flowers grow, but are they flowers? Children smile, but are they smiling? Without your children Without your garden Flowers and smile do not grow Without your hand, Life delivers emptiness When I departed You whispered "take care" Have you taken care? Have you built a dream? Have you not seen crashed hopes? Have you avoided disasters? Disasters are in the air They grow in your garden They fall off the trees.
