Part Six — The Story Begins

The tale begins, as poets say,
Of lovers two who found their way.

That radiant child, so young and fair,
A cypress tall with flowing hair.

Wherever she would softly tread,
A thousand hearts...

O knower of love and mystic's wine,

He reached her street, his senses fled,
As if his earthly time had sped.

Young Saeed rose in joyful flight,
A bird set free in morning light.

Through streets and lanes he wildly spun,
His careful mask now came undone.

But such delight, so...

One day with flute and mournful song,
Saeed began a prayer so long.

His heart grew weary, tired, and cold.

Sorrow consumed his soul within.

He turned toward the starlit sky
And raised...

They came to Saeed, kith and kin,
Their faces pale, their hearts within

"What sorrow fills your weary head?

You've cast your soul before her feet,
Forsaken all for love so sweet.

You've lost yourself within her spell,
A...
