On Entering The Sea ... Nizar Qabbani


Love happened at last
And we entered God's paradise
Sliding
Under the skin of the water
Like fish
We saw the precious pearls of the sea
And were amazed
Love happened at last
Without intimidation

With symmetry of wish
So I gave
And you gave
And we were fair
It happened with marvelous ease
Like writing with jasmine water
Like a spring flowing from the ground
