If Departure Draws Near
In the deep stillness of my endless night, I wandered alone Unmoved by tears, Unshaken by cries. If departure draws near, Let it come I am not like you, I do not fear When the path is lost to us. In my own illusion, I walked alone, Unafraid of the road, Or the torment of the impossible. I shall go on Unafraid of the ruthless wind Should it rise Content with little. I will not force my steps to find a way, No… I will not search in my own ruin For another love... Nidal Sati
