Nocturnal Ruminations over Life, Love and Fear ~

-    



           -  It is the emptiness of expectation ..


-          - How can something inexistent empties us so ?

-          - You sit still, with your heart hung on possibilities ..

-          - Day-dreaming; it is the logic of an unquenched heart

-           - It is a bitterly delightful way to self-destruction

-          - The unacknowledged love that palpitates in your veins becomes a subtle poison that    relaxes your being to the point of weariness.

-          - So, wanting something unattainable produces lethargy?

-          - It is despair, it consumes and exhausts your whole existence ..

-          - That is why you find a wounded spirit reduced to a corner…

-          - That is why lovers adore the piercing silence of the night … It echoes the aching    emptiness inside of them, days pass impervious to their sufferings, but the stillness of the  night consoles them …

-          - ‘Tis true then, lovers are forlorn ..

-          - And they will remain so as long as they don’t wrench what they long for with what makes  us amazingly human: Struggle

-         -  They are creatures of the night because Life despises them for recoiling from her !

-          - And if they do not wake up and toil, they will be forever exiled ...


                                    ألم يقل أبو القاسم الشابي                                           : " ألا انهض وسر في سبيل الحياة ...  فمن نام لم تنتظره الحيـــــــاة
