Chaff from Wheat
Grief
has not the splendor
of works of art,
with the heavy burden
of wonder and dread,
salvation and ruin,
to seize your attention;
nor the majesty and dominion
of a place of worship
whose dome
steals the sky,
and whose golden light,
flowing over its altar,
claims your presence;
nor the grandeur
of symphonic notes
that steal your ear and mind
and, with a sea
of wonder and exhilaration,
submerge you
in the vastness of joy.
So, before
grief
scatters you to the wind,
scatter grief,
like chaff from wheat,
to the wind.
کاه از گندم
غم
نه شکوهِ
آثار هنری دارد
با بارِ سنگینِ
،شگفتی و هراس
،نجات و نابودی
،تا توجه تو را برباید
و نه جلال و جبروتِ
عبادتگاهی
که گنبدش
آسمان را میرباید
و نور طلاییِ
،جاری بر محرابش
،حضور تو را
و نه عظمتِ
،نت های سمفونی
،که گوش و هوشت را میرباید
و با دریایی از
،شگفتی و هیجان
تو را
.در عظمت شادی غرق میکند
پس پیش از آنکه
غم
،تو را بر باد دهد
،غم را
،چون کاه از گندم
.بر باد ده
سهیل خداپرستی
