Before the First Step
Silence,
like a cypress,
is neither still nor silent.
It grows tall,
with its branches and leaves,
bestowing identity upon the wind.
It topples no walls,
yet, like the wind,
it rearranges things
and transforms feeling.
Silence,
like certain departures,
happens
before the first step is ever taken.
پیش از نخستین قدم
،سکوت
چون سرو
ساکن و ساکت نیست
قد می کشد
با شاخ و برگش
به باد هویت میبخشد
،هیچ دیواری را فرو نمیریزد
اما چون باد
جای اشیا را عوض میکند
و احساس را دگرگون میسازد
،سکوت
مثل بعضی رفتنهاست؛
پیش از برداشتن نخستین قدم
.اتفاق میافتد
سهیل خداپرستی
