Winged
wheels ring out rugged melodies along winding ways
Ripened
rays on a new togetherness rise and fall, fall and rise – bright and
clear.
Clear
as miraged ecstasy, drifting unbound over air – seem so far, yet so
near,
Ye
winds of Thul, O blow far away, all the past in invisible haze.
A
thousand secrets from the spins of Time, the winds from Thul have erased
And
like the first look at a golden honeybee, with eagerness they stare.
In
the hum of scorching desert blasts, heed a little to what message they
bear
And
in the chime of little camel bells, listen little ear to what they say:
They
bring songs from home, beyond the hills, melody of a baby’s cries,
Fathers
and children prancing merrily beneath the stars, round the fire ringing.
Sounds
dispelling loneliness chain angels’ harps from crystal skies,
And
past a hundred camel carts, I hear, a pair of anklets ringing.
Whispering
wheels and happy heart take me far from uncared sighs,
Towards
my home, O blessed Thul, my whispering thoughts smile lingering.
