THE BLUE LANTERNS المصابيح الزرق Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

They were blue Like the blue sea, Like the cold words' color, Like that of beauty, Like the blue skies' reflection over The blue sea, Their reflections in waters Were like the diamonds' brilliance, The blue color relieves eye-sighting, It brings happiness, The city's lanterns were Blue in their instinct, My imagination crosses Into overseas' worlds, An how can I cross into Remote countries? ! I keep thinking, The blue lanterns I do contemplate them, They have the answer, They are waving to the comers afar, They are the same if They're now or they are not, so They will remain in my imagination As a truth. __________________________________________________________________________________________
