Constant Stillness   By Dr. Amin Azimi
Lemar-Aftaab
January - December 2001



Mature selfishness is an expansion of the true self
transformation of the soul into a higher line.
Paddling up stream
saw the tree of life with deep lines.
The creative self drifted closer to me,
the external voyage was enriched from an internal line.

In search of a deeper line,
the richness of silence comforted me
sailing in discovery of a mysterious line.
The simplicity and spirituality were a constant desire
With the whisper of the silence,
time was connected deeper
eternity became the struggle line.

Sailing in search of a spiritual light
was an ancient guide.
Grief and harmony in the shadow of perception
were calmly in dance.
An element of the unknown navigated my ship
floating deeper in a dangerous line.

I was sailing in the dark,
Something steered the ship toward the eternal light.
A confused vision was emerging from the dark
I was struggling to discover a visible line.

The deep mirror reflected the self
Admiration of the images in the silence made me calm.
Emergence of new boundaries was a transformation
perfection and harmony of time.
I travelled deeper with the self
silence like a twin became the communicator.
The sense of being was forming a new rhyme
living in silence became the essential line.

Wisdom in the sea of silence became my mentor
the calm moments guided me from simple logic to a complex line.
Carrying the dialogue made the voyage prolonged.
Like a nomadic voyager
I learned the style of a simplistic life
With all the straight lines
wonder why I'm still drifting on the curvy line...
