On the other side of the seas...

On the other side of the seas, lies a land... with all the windows of its houses opening upto the face of the beloved...

How insightful the children are overthere...and people...the attention they give to a simple thing is as if they are just looking at fire or seeing a beautiful dream...

...even the ground underneath your feet...can hear the subtle music of your emotions...and winds bring all the beautiful tales of the childhood...

On the other side of the seas, lies a land...with all the poets there inherited the honesty, purity, wisdom and truth...

On the other side of the seas, lies a land...There should be a boat to there...
