An Oasis in the Moment

An Oasis in the Moment

If you come to visit me

You will find me behind the realm of naught

Behind naught there is a place

Where the veins of the air is full of dandelions

Who bring the happy tidings of flowers blossoming

At the farthest bush

Over the sands also you can see the delicate

Footsteps of the horseman who mounted the

Anemone hill of ascension at morning

Beyond the realm of naught the umbrella of

Desire has been spread

So that the breeze of thirst can run into the leave's root

The siren of the rain resounds

One is lonely here

And in this loneliness the shade of an elm

Stretches to eternity

If you come to visit me

Come gently and slowly lest the fragile china of my

Solitude cracks.

 

واحه یی در لحظه 

به سراغ من اگر می آیید

پشت هیچستانم

پشت هیچستان جایی است

پشت هیچستان رگ های هوا پر قاصد هایی است

که خبر می آرند ازگل واشده ی

 دورترین بوته ی خاک

روی شن ها هم نقش های سم اسبان

 سواران ظریفی است

 که صبح به سر تپه ی معراج شقایق رفتند

پشت هیچستان چتر خواهش باز است

تا نسیم عطشی در بن برگی بدود

زنگ باران به صدا می‌ آید

آدم اینجا تنهاست

و در این تنهایی سایه ی نارونی

 تا ابدیت جاری است

به سراغ من اگر می آیید

نرم و آهسته بیایید مبادا که ترک بردارد

چینی نازک تنهایی من

Catch a Rabbit 

 

The LAPD, The FBI, and the CIA are all trying to prove that they are the best at apprehending criminals. The President decides to give them a test. He releases a rabbit into a forest and each of them has to catch it.

The CIA goes in.

They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations they conclude that rabbits do not exist.

The FBI goes in.

After two weeks with no leads they burn the forest, killing everything in it, including the rabbit, and they make no apologies. The rabbit had it coming.

The LAPD goes in.

They come out two hours later with a badly beaten bear. The bear is yelling: "Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a rabbit!"

Friendship Poem

Friends


A friend is someone we turn to
when our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure
for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives
with beauty, joy, and grace.
And makes the whole world we live in
a better and happier place.

- Jean Kyler McManus-

Friends will come and friends will go,
The seasons change and it will show,
I will age and so will you,
But our friendship stays, strong and true.

For Those Lost In 9/11

If I could catch a rainbow
I would do it just for you,
And share with you its beauty
On the days you're feeling blue

If I could build a mountain
You could call your very own,
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone

If I could take your troubles
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I'm finding
Are impossible for me

I cannot build a mountain,
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me be what I know best,
A friend who's always there
