The path to the wisdom

I was in love with a flower; now I am in love with light.
I escaped from pain and sorrow, even though was such delight.
I told my story in secret to all the birds and bees;
The light that I fell in love with it always brightens our night.
Your love is the source of brightness; your warmth engulfs the soul.
Your shine clears the darkness, and lovers will win the fight.
I and all Swallows together are looking for the spring.
We got lost in the autumn, but the winter is cold and fright.
We didn’t see the twilight; we lived in the longest night.
The dawn of tomorrow will make our day so bright.
The breeze told the flowers, Ask, Listen and Trust;
Follow your path to wisdom until we will all unite.
My part in this story is the tiniest part, indeed.
The nature wrote the story because nobody else can write.

Pashang Salehi  “ Haloo”

The form that I chose is called “GHAZAL.”

It is an old traditional Persian style of poetry with a fixed number of lines (between five and fifteen lines). Each line consists of two half verses or (Mesra). Each line must have the same length and syllables (weight). In the first line, both half verses must rhyme (sometimes followed by a refrain). In the subsequent lines, the second half verse rhymes with the same style with every line. Ghazal expresses the pain of loss and the beauty of love. It is usually ambiguous, and the reader can connect to the poem with their version of understanding and interpretation. I Love Ghazal because I love Hafez, the greatest Persian Poet who ever lived and the true master of Ghazal.
