For the eyes of my children

I will embrace

mysteries long forsaken,

Break the norm of quietude

Usher in chaotic schisms

Undo the wrong

Whip the scorns of time

Tear the vows of sanity;

For the eyes of my children

I will transform into a nymph

Dispose of my past

Emulate the colors of the sun

Project myself into eternity

Detach from my being

to merge with their smiles;

For the eyes of my children

I would chase the fleeting dream

Build a minaret in the sky

Rejoice in the ‘Fields of Reeds’

Celebrate innocence and peace

Offer a piece of my heart

a fragment of my soul

Yes…This and much more I would do

for the eyes of my children.
