A journey

I am the arrow from the bow that Arash released
I have flown from the deepest south to the farthest east

I felt the winds that wrapped the pillars of Perspolis
And as I soared I wondered how man could ever manifest such beauty as this

Seeing all the glory and mystery rooted in this land
I let the sun absorb into me and felt it carry me across like a mothers hand

I watched it's light reflect on the green hillsides
Like emeralds buried in time

As my journey went further
Darkness became my next encounter

Feeling like I could not go on
I felt once again the rays of the Sun

Lighting my way out of fear
And showing me how much more there was for me here

It lit my way
And what I had to do all the more clear

The same way it led Omar Khayyam into the stars
And led Koroush on his journey from Pars

Looking ahead I saw the snow caps of the Alborz Mountains
I still flew through it's complicated terrain
Appreciated all the more from this never ending journey how much there
was to gain

My history and future continue with me
On this heart felt bow & arrow journey

The destination is written in my blood
I will only reach it with my good deeds aligned with the beauty of my
good thoughts

For any other way I will be led astray
And taken away from what is home to my soul and where I wish to lay

I am the arrow from the bow that Arash released
I have flown from the deepest south to the farthest east...
