A Message On The Road, Poet: Sohrab Sepehri

Rating: 5.0


One day
I will come, and bring a message.

I will pour light into veins.
And will cry out: O’ whose baskets are full of sleep!
I brought you apples, the red apple of the sun

I will present to the beggar a jasmine flower.
I will give the pretty leper woman a gift of earrings.
I will tell the blind man: The garden is so spectacular!
I will be a peddler, peddle through alleys and cry out:
Dew, dew, dew.
A passerby will say: honestly, tonight is a dark night,
I will give her the Milky Way.
There is a legless girl on the bridge,
I will put a constellation of stars around her neck.

I will take away all the curses on the lips.
I will tear down all the walls

Oh! I love this. This poem comes from a magical place that diminishes space and time. Anyone can see and feel the love and care that emanates from the soul of one who can write this. I may have fallen in love with an Iranian lady and her writing. Willie from Chattanooga, Tennessee, U.S.A
