The waters of life break and a cry for life is craved, Wrinkled moist skin soon to become a cuddly cushion, Miracles of existence begin with domestic delicate arms, Complete dependence, a leech, a monster, a parasite, All but selfish accusations put upon a defenceless creature, Rather, it is a treasure require cleaving and girdling, Then polishing to produce an independent shining sun, Ready to perform the rituals of cycle of life once more.

Fly into me frisky birds, Tell a story about the sea, Alarm everyone about today, Spare me a wing or two, A flight of many moments, And fly into me ivy leaves, Fragrant my air with your colours, Write on my dense skin, Or through them light a dream, A treasure of many moments, And fly into me ancient branches, Send earth few whispers, Cover me a shade for my mind, Let rituals ascend into heavens, Or descend for many moments, And fly into me pouring rain, Get rid of the lungless smoke, Teach us a divine ceremony, And cleanse our youthful souls, A bless e d era of many moments, And fly into me shooting stars, Mesmerise my eyes with a painting, Or just light a night such as this, Fill it with many distant smiles, And elevate it into a single moment.

Stretching out on the golden diminutive granules, Opening the eyes resisting the sun's blazing beam, Barefoot and toes dancing through the cold breeze, Holding a 'bottled letter' on the right hand; relaxing. Dozing then waking from a toddler's joyous laugh, Sitting up still grasping the poorly shaped letter, Finding it rather attractive but it spoke of tomorrow, Days of reconciliation from the bitter yesterday. The author named "I"; the date not far from today, From an indefinite location but a language I speak, Written from right-to-left starting with اللهم لك الحمد, Saddened by the beauty of tears, yet, optimistic. "I" spoke of the ancestral origins of the humans, Of the morals and values shared by the individuals, Of the pin-pointed differences referred by organs, And of the true path sought for a better tomorrow. There the calligraphy ended before a tiny full-stop, Folding the 'bottled letter' in halves and once again...
