When You Are Not Here by Sepehri
I open the window as wide as the entire world
The road is empty
Trees are overburdened with night
Branches are not swaying
Water is tired of flowing
You are not here
And nothing moves
You are not here
And heart beats in vain
You are not here
And the roaring rivers convey no message
And the valleys are not understandable
When you are here
Nights fade away from our faces
And the secret of life is unveiled
But in your absence
The dark covers the green grass
And the flowing springs are silent
When you close your eyes
The green grass is covered with doubts
Your face blows
And the water wakes up
You walk
And the mirror breathes
The road is empty
You will not come back
And my eyes will close in wait
