If time was on our side. We would have crafted a perfect world just for ourselves. We could one by one overcome all obstacles. We could have outgrown everything. If time was just on our side. The two of us only.... we could have reached the stars and then start something new..... We would have been beautiful.... The prefect ones.... the examplary ones........ but time is not on our side .. so we make the best of what we have and ........ it may not be perfect .... it is still about us... the best we could achieve with the chains of time ............. the best!!! and one day when the chainz are gone and one day when time doesnt fly anymore... I will seek you out and I will create, based on the blueprints which are our dreams....I will create and I will call it heaven!
Usually I do not copy something else but here is a translation of a Poem in Pashto language which I just had to jot down here.... the translation that is:
"In a desert.. once on the hunt did I find...
a flower so fair... with a radiant smile....
Sadly, I approached and Sighed....
"Ah! Of my kind, are you too,
a hapless flower from a beloved's hair"
"Frail fingers would'nt take you to a soft face so close,
Nor will you be kissed by lips so delicate like a rose."
With a silent smile the flower replied:
"Don't loose Heart."
"This desert I wouldnt give up for the gardens of Iran,
A solitary I am here while legions like me are there,
Amidst this cursed soil I stand apart.
In this gray desert, I 'm a flame of divine light,
I 'm beauty's silent song, a miracle from the sky."
"In your garden, there are thousands of flowers....just like me...."
"A nameless droplet in a nameless sea!"
"Don't feel lonely in your desert,
To behold you at last shall come a sore hero (ghani khan)"
These words were written in Pashto by Ghani Khan (1914 -1996)
So what is the relation between these words and the words above ..... They both promise something... promise that there will be a rainbow one day...... I just wish the rainbow is gray !
