Mahmoud Darwish: if you are not rain, my love...

‌
If you are not rain, my love
Be tree
Sated with fertility, be tree
and If you are not tree, my love
Be stone
Saturated with humidity, be stone
and If you are not stone, my love
be moon
In the dream of your beloved one, be moon
[So spoke a woman
to her son at his funeral]
Mahmoud Darwish
From the book "State of Siege"
