The Journey, recited by Bahareh Amidi

Bahareh, the Poetess of Light

Bahareh Amidi is an American Iranian friend. She is also a Poetess and composes poems for poetry therapy. I have asked if I could use the ones about "The Journey" as it seems rather fitting.  She has two poems about The Journey, here are the words in Farsi and English. Bahareh graciously donates her time and poetry to work with the women's shelter here in Abu Dhabi. More of her poetry is on her site at: http://www.bahareh.com/  Enjoy!

در حال سفر

در حال سفر بودم

و ناهان رسیدم

میدانستم که خیلی وقت در این راه بودم

ولی حال میدانم که رسیدم

به دنبال ی

به سراغ کی

بار سفر را جمع کردم

من حالا انجا هستم

انجا که میخواستم باشم

با تو هستم

همیشه با من بمان

On a Journey

I had been on a journey for as long as I recall

Suddenly I arrived

What was I looking for

Who was I looking for

Now I am unpacked

Now I am  there

Here where I wanted to be

I am with thee
Stay with me always.

Iran Trip

I am starting to get really excited about this, a month to go now...HUGE thanks to Mellissa and Bahram, I'm sure I will be in good hands once I get there. Also looking forward to finally meeting Javad and Reza in person.
