Lesson on the Earth.

 LESSON ON THE EARTH !  

                     A F  EKBAL. 

                     

Walking slowly on this earth....

Yes, on this humble earth

Walking very slowly

Handlinh lots of stirs

So that the sound of my breath

Don't get bogged down  

By the burden of desires ! 

Walking very slowly on this earth 

Trying to study

What the souls can feel 

How the mindset can deal 

Home comfort or shivering trot ; 

Remember our palms 

Could care for wounds

And my heart sings

The song of the flying birds... 

Flying out through the horizon ! 

Walking still slowly on this earth

To witness what we have  

Made of ourselves 

Have made of the rivers-  

Are the blood flowing in our veins 

Branches of trees blowing our bones?  

Animals and mammals and insects 

Of this earth still remain innocent  

But our shadows fear ourselves ! 

Walking slowly on this earth 

With great care 

To hunt a place to rest  

A destination that safest 

For the coming descendents 

When we shall leave 

Just at a strand of wind 

Ashore the human ocean !

Walking gently on this Earth

To let our spirit  

May stand in comforts  

So our heart may sing 

The songs of the ever flying birds 

And to console ourselves 

How to heal how to cure our bones  

And not hurt, none to hurt ever.
