I always believed
that truth
was a point
at sunrise, I lamented
waking too late,
or at sunset,
with sighs and regret,
when it was already time to sleep.
For a while,
patiently,
I held the thought
that truth,
somewhere,
like a thirsty traveler,
waited for me
impatiently.
For a time, unwillingly,
I imagined
that truth,
like a mirage,
was fleeing from me.
And in the end,
beyond belief, thought, and imagination,
I saw
that truth,
like a shadow,
moves with me
through the process of becoming.
همراهی با حقیقت
همیشه بر این باور بودم
حقیقت
نقطهای است
،در طلوع آفتاب
افسوس میخوردم
،که دیر از خواب برخاستهام
،یا در غروبِ آفتاب
دریغ و آه
،که هنگامِ خواب است
چندی
صبورانه
بر این اندیشه بودم
حقیقت
در نقطهای
چون تشنهای
بیصبرانه
،به انتظارم نشسته است
مدتی ناگزیر
بر این خیال بودم
حقیقت
چون سرابی
از من گریزان است
،و در پایان
به دور از باور و اندیشه و خیال
دیدم
حقیقت
چون سایهای
فرآیندِ شدن را
با من طی میکند
