SONGS OF THE MOTHER

SONGS OF THE FATHER

Mother sang when her children,(birds left her)

Father sang when his children,(birds left him)

They all sang songs for the rest of their lives from distant places 

because now the oceans were between them,

 the sea was between them,

 the red sea and the Indian Ocean

 and the Caspian sea...

The birds flew and separated themselves from pure and eternal love

 In search of love 

And could never see their loved ones again

 Because they got lost on the way, 

They struggled,

 They survived,

 They got wounded,

 They got exhausted,

 They lost their way,

 They never united again...

The birds wanted to fly back 

But their wings were now broken 

And their mother and father lied down and cried,

 lied down and died,
