The World After Thousand Dawns

The  world after thousand dawns
(To an Isis fighter )
A poem by :Ali Riyadh (Iraqi Poet)
Translated by: Laith Seher
O who woke up after thousand dawn ago,
The dawns burned ,the ashes became a night .
Stand up ,close your eyes .
Seek  the newborn baby at  this  new dawn 
behind his eyelids, there lies light
Touch him , your fingers get anesthesia.
He warms your  frozen  blood .
Open your eyes , gaze at  him ,
You will see how the world  becomes colourful after thousand dawn ago without you .
