Close your eyes and open your heart.

ጌታ ሆይ!
የሰው ልጅን ሥቃይ ድካም እንግልቱን
በሕይወት ስንክሳር ባክኖ መታከቱን
በሳጥናኤል ሸክም ጫንቃው መጎዳቱን

black pure eyes
were starring at me more than twice
they were capable of laying down anyone
withal, thanks to the almighty one I took a seat

Why do I fall in love with thee?
Is it for timeless shining smile
On your chocolate face?
That lent you a charming

እኔ አንቺን ስጠብቅ፡
ግማሽ ሰውነቴን ለፀሐይ አውሼ

It's been long
Since I started penning
Poems for my soul mate,
In spite of her adamancy

ቀለል ያለ ጊዜ ጠነን ያለ ዘመን
ዐውሎ ያልጎበኘው ተሳቢ ሙሉ ዐየር
ቅርዘትም ጡዘትም ያልሸመቁት ቀዬ
አሳሪም ታሳሪም ያላወሩት ዘዬ

My granddad once went to a blessed land
To offer gift and visit a Holy Child
Led by a star in each of his stride
His son has had a pilgrim's trip

What Are You Waiting For?
Why are you pensive?
Close your eyes and open your heart.
Start walking with an idea as an intimate friend.
Go! beyond your daily anxiety.
Go via meditation and escape your grief.
So, what are you waiting for?
Go and discuss with the heavenly bodies.
Fill your heart with the taste of wine.
Listen to your quite spirit
And dance with a voice of silence.
So, what are you waiting for?
Up on the snug back of the cloud,
Have a tour looking down at the green land of the moon.
And have a joyful vacation throughout your age.
So, having these all fortunes, why are you pensive?
Go!
Thanks to your heart,
The producer of your colorful imagination world.
Get into the the all-embracing chariot,
That can show you the life of your wish.
And enjoy with the ultimate pleasure.
Meditate your future.
So, what are you waiting for?
'Nothing is permanent in this wicked world not even our troubles.'
let me dream at you and enjoy an eternal rest!
Wherever you are, whatever you do, please make it positive for all human beings and other living things.
