One by One Becomes One
If I had not held your hand
Human life would have remained incomplete
The world would have remained in the shadows
The light of the moon would not have come to the earth
The grasshopper’s wings would not have written
My first love letter.
If I had been alone
Poetry would not have been born in my heart
Spring would not have come to this heart
The cuckoo would not have called in the depths of my heart
The river of life would have lost all its waves
No one else would have awakened in my heart.
If I didn’t keep my eyes on you,
Who would make flowers bloom in the desert?
The seven colors would remain unknown,
The flock of birds would lose their language,
The Himalayas would float in mute tears,
My poetry notebook would remain empty.
If I had not met you,
The path of love would have been unknown.
Who would have gathered happiness under the canopy ?
Who would have achieved the melody on the harp of the mind?
The sea would have flown in all directions.
A pile of sighs would have accumulated in the vast void.
I understand by holding your hand
One by one becomes one
Looking into your eyes I understand
Two by two becomes two.
